Fungicides and insecticides are commonly used to control a variety of pathogens and insect pests, but these can have harmful effects on humans and the environment. To combat this, researchers propose using natural plant extracts such as Indian Hawthorn (HAL), which have demonstrated significant antifungal activity against fungal pathogens. The Wiley Registry 8th Edition was used to identify the components in HAL, found to be various organic compounds that may exhibit potential pharmacological and antimicrobial activities. Thus, HAL extract could serve as a natural and sustainable solution to manage fungal infestations in plants.
