Pogostemon cablin Constituents: A Promising Source of Natural Fungicides and Herbicides

in postemergence trials, showing similar efficacy to glyphosate. Despite its herbicidal effect, photosystem II disruption is unlikely, suggesting a novel mechanism. Molecular modeling also supported the idea that it may act through a distinct mode from known HPPD inhibitors. These results indicate pogostone's potential as a dual-function agrochemical with both antifungal and herbicidal properties.
