Used as a natural pesticide derived from plant sources, Methyl dodonate A shows strong insecticidal activity against a range of agricultural pests, including mites and aphids. It is particularly effective in organic farming due to its biodegradable nature and low toxicity to non-target organisms. Its mode of action involves disrupting the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and death. Due to its environmental compatibility, it is formulated in sprays for use on vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants. Ongoing research explores its potential as a lead compound for developing safer synthetic analogs in pest management.
