Sustainable pests (insects, nematodes, pathogens) management is necessary due to environmental drawbacks caused by use of pesticides for pests control. Allelopathy is promising alternative for pests control. Many crops have allelopathic pesticide potential; hence, it is essential to evaluate them to integrate into sustainable pests management strategies. This review aimed to explore the allelopathic potential of plants for crop pests control. The allelochemicals present in essential oils of medicinal plants (Thyme, oregano, rosemary, lavender, fennel and laurel) are fungitoxic against both foliar and soil-borne pathogens. Natural pesticides, offer an environmental friendly alternative to present synthetic pesticides.
