However, the fruit is vulnerable to post-harvest brown rot degradation caused by <em>Monilinia laxa</em> and <em>Monilinia fructigena</em>, which is a prominent pre-and post-harvest disease of tree fruit. Numerous non-chemical post-harvest treatments have been investigated so far to control these pathogens to provide an alternative option to the synthetic fungicides that are commonly used and may have negative effects on human health and the environment. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the <em>in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em> efficacy at different concentrations of nine plants' aqueous extracts from <em>Mentha pulegium, Citrus aurantium, Thymus vulgaris, Origanum compactum, Lavandula angustifolia</em>, <em>Syzygium aromaticum, Rosmarinus officinalis</em>, <em>Citrus sinensis</em> and <em>Eucalyptus radiate</em> against the development of brown rot.

Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic/endemic, along with the threat of other endemics, posed significant challenges in ensuring the delivery of nutritionally rich food. To address this, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended the ban of some highly toxic chemical pesticides. Excessive consumption and exposure to pesticides possibly contributed to a decline in the human immunity levels making our fight against the pandemics more difficult and challenging. During the lockdown COVID-19 crisis, we conducted a survey to gather insights from farm landers (FLs), garden lovers (GLs), domestic front users (DFUs) predominantly from India, but also from other regions worldwide. The survey aimed at better understanding the usage of pesticides, both chemicals (CPs), bio-pesticides (BPs) or both, and their global utilization. A statistical survey with seven rudimentary sections was designed to receive the inputs (elementary inputs, awareness and perception, pesticide utility, health, ecology, and alternatives for safer trials) with fairness and care. The data was statistically analyzed within each group of population, revealing significant variations within the groups. Our study indicated that FLs (44.7 %) predominantly used BPs, GLs (18.8 %) relied on CPs, while DFUs (100.0 %) used a combination of both without any specific intention.
