Essential Oils as Antimicrobial Agents Against Some Important Plant Pathogenic Bacteria and Fungi

摘要: Plant diseases impact negatively on human well-being through agricultural and economic loss also have consequences for biodiversity conservation. They are caused by some pathogens like bacteria, fungi, nematodes viruses. Bacteria fungi the most common cause of many plants. The use antibiotics control plant is limited due to possibility production pathogen populations resistant fungicides antimicrobial agents ability transfer responsible genes animal pathogenic microbes. In addition, these chemical compounds can undesirable effects environment their slow biodegradation several serious side mammalian health associated toxic residues in products. There is, therefore, a need develop alternative bacterial fungal Essential oils concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma derived from different parts were previously known possess biological activities such as antifungal antibacterial properties. potential effectiveness essential against bacteria has been verified authors. This review discusses susceptibility important ten towards constituents, which reported scientific references.
