The general objective of the project is to propose a new imidazole-based active component for a future plant protection product that is suitable for use in integrated pest management and is safe for the environment and human health. This project represents the initial phase of pesticide discovery, involving rational synthesis based on a chemoinformatic approach, as well as the evaluation of the effects of new imidazole derivatives on various soil-dwelling organisms—including beneficial and phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria, nematodes, and insects.
