    Currently, contamination caused by pesticides used in agriculture is an unsustainable problem, one of the causes being the improper use of synthetic insecticides made from chemical products, which is causing irreparable damage both to humans and the environment. Therefore, it is necessary for knowledgeable professionals, such as students of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, to provide sustainable alternatives, such as bioinsecticide products made from plant extracts, aimed at combating insects, pests, and other microorganisms that affect crops. The objective of this research was “to determine the knowledge of plants with biocidal potential among tenth-cycle students of Pharmacy and Biochemistry at the Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, Lima 2021–2022.” Method: The study was analytical, with a quantitative approach, basic type, non-experimental descriptive design, and simple random probabilistic sampling. A questionnaire validated by three experts was applied to 250 tenth-cycle students of Pharmacy and Biochemistry. Data were analyzed using Excel and SPSS version 25. Results: The findings showed that 71.6% of students had a high level of knowledge about plants with biocidal potential, 13.6% medium, and 14.8% low. Conclusion: It was established that tenth-cycle students of Pharmacy and Biochemistry at the Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener have a high level of knowledge regarding plants with biocidal potential.
