“…niveum (at 0.02% concentration) under laboratory and greenhouse assays. Matrood and Rhouma [37] identified that Ocimum sanctum aqueous plant extracts seemed to be the most effective under laboratory conditions with mycelial inhibition rate above 82%. The same authors pointed out that in greenhouse experiments, the treatment of eggplant leaves with O. sanctum and Justicia adhatoda aqueous plant extracts generated the highest damage reduction and the strongest activity of catalase and peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, polyphenol-oxidase, total phenolic content and total sugars [37].…”

Recently plant essential oils received increasing attention for plant health and food security in the sustainable agriculture context. Essential oils are promising biological sources since they are cost-effective, biodegradable, and safe for human health and the environment. This review covers the essential extraction characteristic, extraction methods, and conservation needed for the scientist’s and industries’ knowledge. Furthermore, the main biological activities and involvement of essential oils in plant pests and diseases are outlined. Finally, this review concludes the potential commercial application and the future challenges of essential oils as an eco-friendly method in sustainable agriculture.

“…Nevertheless, during the last few decades, their use was hampered by stricter regulatory policies limiting their doses, and their action spectrum and even restricting their use. This is due to the public rising concern about possible human health risks, undesirable environmental effects, and the development of pathogens’ resistance 9 , 10 .…”

“…Substantial research, using microbial antagonists and extracts have been conducted to prove their efficacy as fungal diseases’ biological control agents and to reduce synthetic fungicides’ usage 13 . Plant extracts have also been actively explored in recent years as a potential biological agent against many postharvest diseases 9 . In this context, forest plants are also considered potent sources of phytochemicals such as phenols, flavonoids, and essential oils that could be exploited as a biological control against fungal diseases 14 .…”

The study investigated the antifungal and phytochemical properties of three forest plants (Eucalyptus globulus, Pistacia lentiscus, and Juniperus phoenicea) against apple diseases caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Alternaria alternata. The determination of the total polyphenol and flavonoid contents in the three aqueous extracts of studied plants showed that E. globulus exhibited the highest contents than those of P. lentiscus and J. phoenicea. Furthermore, the three studied extracts showed very appreciable antioxidant activity with decreasing order: E. globulus, P. lentiscus, and J. phoenicea. The phytochemical analysis showed different common phenolic acids in the three studied plants namely: quinic acid, gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, and caffeoylquinic acid as well as other flavonoids mainly quercetin and catechin. The results of the current study demonstrated that the fungistatic activity of E. globulus EO (4 and 2 µl/ml) seemed to be the most effective under laboratory conditions with an inhibition zone diameter above 16 mm. However, the poisoned food technique indicated that the aqueous extract (80%) and the essential oil (4 µl/ml) of E. globulus exhibited the highest mycelial growth (> 67%) and spore germination (> 99%) inhibition. Preventive treatments with essential oils (4 µl/ml) and aqueous extracts (80%) applied to apple fruits inoculated with A. alternata and C. gloeosporioides resulted in the lowest lesion diameter (< 6.80 mm) and disease severity index (< 15%) and the most favorable inhibitory growth (> 85.45%) and protective potentials (> 84.92%). The results suggest that E. globulus has a brilliant future in the management of anthracnose and Alternaria rot of apple and provide a basis for further studies on its effects under field conditions.

“…The use of pesticides to prevent contamination in tissue farms should be based on a prior study to choose the best pesticides in terms of their impact without affecting the plants. In general, this practice will lead to minimize usage of the fungicides [19,20]. The current study has been performed to determine the most common fungal contaminants of Banana tissue cultures and the efficiency of some fungicides in their control.…”

The goal of this study was to identify fungicides with a broad-spectrum effectiveness and their capacity to inhibit fungal contaminants in banana tissue cultures. Numerous fungi were isolated from tissues of banana cultures of the Grand 9 variety. Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Cladosporium oxysporum, Penicillium digitatum, P. expansum, and Penicillium sp. were among the contaminated fungi isolated. These fungi were inhibited successfully using the fungicides Beltanol, Agrisave, and Zoxis. Hoever, Beltanol was outperformed compared with Agrisave and Zoxis fungicides, with an inhibition rate of 100% for concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, and 1 ml/l. Thus, the addition of Beltanol fungicide to the banana culture medium had a positive influence on the fresh and dry weight of the tissues, with the average fresh weight increasing to 2.93 g compared with 2.4 g in the control treatment. Also, the dry weight was increased from to 0.21 g while it was 0.17 g in the control treatment. Additionally, the results demonstrated the enzymatic effectiveness (cellulase enzyme) of isolated fungi without treatment, that showed high effectiveness in P. digitatum fungus with an activity rate reached 2.33 mm. In contrast, C. oxysporum and P. expansum fungi displayed moderate efficiency with activity rates that reached 1.5 and 1.41 mm respectively. On the other hand, A. flavus and A. niger fungi exhibited low efficacy with activity rates of 1.25 and 1.12 mm respectively. Furthermore, the results revealed that P. expansum fungus had a high enzymatic effectiveness index with a rate of 1.85 mm, while C. oxysporum, P. digitatum, and A. flavus fungi had moderate enzymatic effectiveness with rates of 1.46, 1.34, and 1.26, respectively. A. niger fungus had the lowest enzymatic effectiveness with a rate of 1.23. The enzymatic secretion of the isolated fungi was inhibited efficiently via addition of the fungicide Beltanol to these fungi.
