Abstract: (72 Views)

Pathogens are any organism that can produce disease. They can cause disease in human as well as plants, and animals. Pathogenic agents are combated by various fungicides and bactericides. All of these toxins, after eliminating pathogens, mostly remain in the cycle because they are not decomposed and cause many problems. Due to the consumption of plants and animals in human nutrition, diseases, especially types of cancer, have become common in recent years. In order to prevent these problems, the consumption of toxins should be reduced to a minimum level. One of these ways is to use plant extracts and essential oils to eliminate pathogens. Different extracts and essential oils have different properties, and according to various research, have positive inhibition effects on the pathogens growth and reproduction process. Research in biocontrol of pathogens will lead to a bright future in terms of eliminating chemical toxins for humans. In this review antibacterial and antifungal effects of extract and essential oil of some plants is given below. Several examples of the use of plant essential oils and extract in the inhibition of plant pathogens, food industry, and extension of post-harvest life of fruits instead of chemical additives were reported.
