Since the dawn of time, Indian agriculture has been plagued by a variety of destructive problems such as weeds, fungi, and insect pests, all of which have resulted in a rapid decrease in yields. Weeds compete with crop plants, reducing crop yields by 5 to 50 percent. Insect pests are farmers' worst enemies because they eat crops, stored grains, and serve as a vector for livestock diseases. Various fungi ruin agricultural and horticultural crops, causing economic losses and posing a health risk to consumers due to mycotoxins created by the fungi. Chemicals are used to monitor many of these bio agents, but their widespread use has resulted in weed, fungus, and pest resistance, as well as higher costs, residual toxicity levels, resulting in fertile lands being infertile and poisonous. The best solution for this is to use indigenous traditional methods of control used by farmers, such as plants that were once common all over the world but have nearly disappeared in developed countries due to the introduction and use of modern synthetic chemicals, and are now restricted to only a few regions of developing countries. Plant extracts, according to various reports, contain a variety of bioactive components that can regulate many of these crop-destroying agents. The aim of this paper is to summarize the results of using plant extracts to monitor plant bio agents. Plant extracts are cheap, environmentally friendly, readily available, and are therefore recommended for sustainable agricultural production
