Obacunone is used in agricultural applications as a natural insect antifeedant and insecticide. It helps protect crops by deterring feeding and disrupting the growth of certain insect pests, particularly in fruit and vegetable farming. Due to its natural origin and low toxicity to mammals, it is considered an environmentally friendly option for integrated pest management. It also shows potential in post-harvest treatments to prevent spoilage caused by insect activity. Research is ongoing into its use as a synergist to enhance the effectiveness of other biopesticides.
