Abstract:
Phytochemicals have great antioxidant potential and receiving great areas of interest due to their beneficial way of plant protection. These bioactive compounds help in the growth and development of plants, as well as provide a defense system against stresses (biotic and abiotic). They can be found in many different parts of plants and provide immense health benefits to both humans and animals. Plant signaling mechanisms such as phytochemical synthesis can assist plants to protect against diseases and repel herbivores. C. comosum has been reported to produce a variety of phytochemicals, including alkaloids, phenolics, flavonoids, and essential oil, as well as these compounds participate in biochemical processes that interact with plant hormones, and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Phytochemicals can improve plant disease resistance by reinforcing the cell wall, increasing the generation of reactive oxygen species, and increasing the transcription of defense-related genes. Allium sativum, Zingiber officinale, Allium Cepa, and Curcuma longa are high in phytochemicals, including bioactive substances such as quercetin, allicin, and curcumin, which have been demonstrated to benefit human visceral and cerebral tissues. Phytochemicals can be used in an array of ways, particularly in conjunction with biocontrol agents or fungicides, to produce an increasingly holistic disease management plan. The plant is used to create foliar fertilizers. With their abundance of phytochemicals, plant leaves, roots, and stems can be extracted to promote health and reduce disease-causing agents in unique ways. Utilizing their capabilities as elicitors, plant- based chemicals represent a practical, eco-friendly substitute for pesticides and may be instrumental in formulating plant disease remedies. The sustained use of this technology is a critical component for the sustainable management of plant diseases in agriculture.
