This review provides an overview of chalcones, focusing on their sources, identification methods, properties, and applications in agriculture. Chalcones are natural compounds with a wide range of biological activities, including herbicidal, fungicidal, bactericidal, antiviral, and insecticidal properties. They are increasingly being considered as alternatives to synthetic pesticides due to their environmental sustainability and reduced risk to human health. The review highlights the potential of chalcones in agriculture, particularly in weed control, plant growth regulation, and the management of plant pathogens and pests. It also discusses the methods used to identify and analyze chalcones, including chromatography, mass spectrometry, and infrared spectroscopy. The review emphasizes the importance of further research into the mechanisms of action of chalcones and their effectiveness in real-world agricultural settings. The study also addresses the challenges associated with the extraction and use of chalcones, including their limited availability and short half-life, and the need for synthetic alternatives. Overall, the review underscores the potential of chalcones as a promising class of compounds for sustainable agricultural practices.This review provides an overview of chalcones, focusing on their sources, identification methods, properties, and applications in agriculture.
