Take saponin extract as an example: adding it to an IPM plan can control pests such as pumpkin fruit flies while keeping harm to non-target species low (Samiksha et al., 2019). Farm practices matter just as much. Crop rotation, proper planting density, and careful canopy management can cut places where pests live and breed, and they can lift plant health. Studies on canopy light in Sapindus mukorossi show that tuning the scaffold and branch layout raises photosynthesis and lowers disease risk, which underlines the value of agronomic techniques inside the IPM framework (Yuan et al., 2018). 5.3 The application of monitoring and early warning systems inSapindus mukorossi Monitoring and early warning are the foundation for the proactive prevention and control of Sapindus mukorossi. Remote sensing and Internet of Things (IoT) devices can capture in real time the dynamic occurrence and symptom changes of pests and diseases, facilitating timely intervention. Such technologies have been successfully applied in the monitoring and early detection of tree canopy health in relevant agricultural systems, providing a reference for the research on the cultivation adaptability of Sapindus sapindus (Lenteren, 2012). Prediction models that use environmental data-such as temperature and humidity-can flag outbreak risks early and guide management choices. When these tools are paired with routine field checks, accuracy and cost-effectiveness improve, reliance on chemicals drops, and long-term sustainability is strengthened (Zhao et al., 2019). 6 Environmental and Economic Impacts of Green Control for Sapindus mukorossi 6.1 Environmental benefits of green control methods for Sapindus mukorossi Green control for Sapindus mukorossi aims to cut the use of chemical pesticides, which lowers the environmental load of pest and disease management. Using saponins extracted from Sapindus mukorossi as pesticides helps because they are biodegradable and reduce chemical residues in soil and water. At the same time, they are less toxic to non-target organisms, which supports biodiversity and keeps ecosystems in balance (Samiksha et al., 2019). Studies also show that the natural traits of saponins can suppress pests without harming beneficial species, which fits well with sustainable farming practices (Eddaya et al., 2013). In addition, the combined application of biological control agents and natural enemies can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to the production and application of synthetic chemicals. In the cultivation system of Sapindus mukorossi, the adoption of enhanced biological control strategies can not only reduce the disturbance to the surrounding ecology, but also further amplify the above-mentioned environmental benefits (Lenteren, 2012). 6.2 Cost-effectiveness and market potential of green control inSapindus mukorossi The green control of Sapindus mukorossi is economically feasible because this plant has dual value of "medicine and application". Extracting saponins from fruit peels to replace some purchased pesticides can reduce chemical input and at the same time form value-added products. Studies have shown that saponins are effective against various types of pests and diseases, can reduce the need for additional intervention, and thereby compress the overall production cost. With the rising demand for organic and eco-friendly agricultural products, the market prospects for Sapindus mukorossi are also expanding. Saponin biopesticides align with global sustainable and green label trends, creating opportunities to enter high-value markets. If the relevant practices are incorporated into the certification organic system, its economic attractiveness is expected to continue to increase (Yang et al., 2020). 6.3 Economic impacts of green control strategies for Sapindus mukorossi Pushing green prevention and control in Sapindus mukorossi fields can raise farmers’ income and lift the local economy. Cutting back on costly synthetic pesticides lowers inputs. Using the plant’s own bioactive compounds helps too, so profit margins grow. Economic assessments of saponin extraction also point to value-chain uses, opening new income streams for producers (Sun et al., 2017). At the same time, green control supports more sustainable production and adds diverse ways to earn. Making and selling saponin products, together with higher healthy yields, can strengthen the economic resilience of farming
