abstract = "Given that the use of synthetic pesticides is prohibited in organic agricultural production, the biggest challenge is plant protection. The fight against weed plants in organic production is a measure that has neither simple nor standard solutions. Since herbicides are prohibited in these plantations, the use of biopesticides represents a safe, legally permitted, natural alternative. Depending on the organism they control, biopesticides are divided into bioinsecticides, biofungicides, bioherbicides, and others. This paper aims to review the relevant literature that indicates the most critical agents used as bioherbicides in organic agriculture. Living organisms such as insects, nematodes, bacteria, and fungi, as well as natural products are used in the biological control of weeds. There are many plant extracts with bioherbicidal action, which is most often attributed to the feature of allelopathy. Natural products that are used in the fight against weed plants contain essential oils (such as clove oil, eugenol, and d-limonene), soaps (pelargonic acid), acids (acetic, citric), or iron compounds (chelates). Acetic acid and vinegar are the ingredients in several herbicide products. Over 20 bioherbicides are registered or commercialized on the world market, most of which are based on fungi (genera Alternaria, Colletotrichum, Fusarium, Phomopsis, Phytophthora, Phyllosticta, Phoma destructiva, Puccinia, etc.). Corn gluten meal and mustard seed meal are used as preemergence organic herbicides, and as post-emergence and burndown organic herbicides 40% ammonium nonanoate, vinegar (5, 10, 15 and 20% acetic acid), clove oil 55% d-limonene. However, the market for these products is still small, it is mainly dominated by chemical control. There are still no registered bioherbicides in Serbia. Bioherbicides have shown great potential in controlling weeds in organic agricultural production, and represent a sustainable, cheap, and environmentally friendly suppression method.",
