Özet

ABSTRACT: In the world and our country, the use of chemicals in the fight against weeds, diseases and pests in crops has increased considerably to increase agricultural production and quality in production. Chemicals, which are used with the habits of the past without considering the economic damage threshold, cause residues and environmental pollution in the products produced due to misuse, non-compliance with waiting periods and usage doses. Since these residues can remain in nature and the environment for a long time, they can be carcinogenic to living organisms. To reduce the use of chemicals in agricultural production and the possible damages that may occur, studies are carried out on different control methods and one of these control methods is essential oils obtained by utilizing herbal drugs. Due to the high plant diversity in our country, the possibilities of using essential oils and extracts against weeds, diseases and pests become even more important. In this study, information about the use of essential oils and extracts against diseases in agricultural production was given.
