Description
Fungi that attack crops cause heavy losses worldwide, and growers want options beyond chemical sprays. Nadya Armenova and co-authors review in 2025 the natural antifungal compounds made by microbes and plants. Their survey covers the main families of these compounds and the bacteria, fungi, and yeasts that produce them.
Named examples attack fungal membranes, energy centers, walls, and signals, and they work against major crop pests such as Fusarium and Botrytis. Plant oils add further options that pair well with the microbial agents. The authors also cover how gene tools are speeding the search for new compounds and improving producer strains. They note that the market for such biofungicides is growing fast as rules and buyers shift.
