Due to their α, β-unsaturated carbonyl system their structure forms a basis for several bioactivities making them ideal in crop protection. This short review aims at discussing modern agricultural application of chalcones including synthesis and biological impact as well as the potential application in the future. As demand for environment friendly approaches to control pests and diseases are on the rise, chalcones offers a good chance of developing green agrochemicals.en-UScrop protectiongreen agrochemicalsorganic farming methodsArticle
