Plants are a valuable source of many bioactive compounds. Numerous scientific studies confirm the antimicrobial effect of plant extracts against many phytopathogens, including pathogenic fungi. Currently, the attention is mainly focused on the production of preparations of plant origin containing stable and biodegradable biologically active compounds to control plant diseases. They are also an alternative to the conventional method of protection against pathogens. This review includes the characteristics of the most popular herbal plants (tansy, yarrow, garlic, horseradish, nettle) and the bioactive compounds contained in them, as well as the possibility of their use in plant protection, especially for control of pathogenic fungi.

Abstract
Plants are a valuable source of many bioactive compounds. Numerous scientific studies confirm the antimicrobial effect of plant extracts against many phytopathogens, including pathogenic fungi. Currently, the attention is mainly focused on the production of preparations of plant origin containing stable and biodegradable biologically active compounds to control plant diseases. They are also an alternative to the conventional method of protection against pathogens. This review includes the characteristics of the most popular herbal plants (tansy, yarrow, garlic, horseradish, nettle) and the bioactive compounds contained in them, as well as the possibility of their use in plant protection, especially for control of pathogenic fungi.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
