| description | The escalating concerns about the environmental and health impacts of synthetic pesticides have intensified the search for sustainable and effective alternatives. Cinnamon oil, derived from the bark of Cinnamomum species, has emerged as a promising candidate in this arena due to its potent biopesticidal properties. This review explores the multifaceted role of cinnamon oil in agricultural pest management, emphasizing its potential to contribute significantly to food security. We discuss the bioactive components of cinnamon oil, their modes of action against various pests, and the effectiveness of cinnamon oil formulations. The review also addresses the challenges associated with the consistency and efficacy of cinnamon oil, its regulatory landscape, and the economic considerations for its use on a larger scale. By integrating findings from recent studies, this review underscores the viability of cinnamon oil as a cornerstone in future sustainable agricultural practices, aiming to reduce dependency on chemical pesticides and enhance global food security. |
