Abstract

This review examines the use of essential oils in biopesticides from 2002 to 2023, highlighting trends, major contributors, key publications, and future directions. Research on essential oils has grown globally, with notable contributions from Brazil, India, Italy, and the USA. Articles dominate the 480 publications analyzed. Future research should address pest management mechanisms, active compounds, formulations, and contact toxicity. Challenges include complex formulations, regulatory barriers, resistance, and environmental concerns. Interdisciplinary collaboration is vital for integrating essential oils into pest management strategies, promoting sustainable alternatives to synthetic pesticides, ecological sustainability, and enhanced food security.
