Rose Essential Oil: A safe pesticide for organic agriculture In the ever-evolving landscape of agricultural practices, researchers at the Tokyo University of Science have unearthed a groundbreaking discovery that could reshape pest management in organic farming. Their findings, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, unveil the potential of rose essential oil (REO) as a safe and effective pesticide alternative. Plants, when injured, release terpenoids to bolster their defense mechanisms. Building on this natural phenomenon, the research team delved into the realm of terpenoid-enriched essential oils (EOs), focusing on their...
