“…include several plant pathogens of major importance that cause disease in a wide range of woody and herbaceous species, although there are some known species that attack crops of commercial value, such as strawberry (Fragaria vesca ex Weston), mango (Mangifera indica L.), avocado (Persea Americana Mill), corn (Zea mays L.), sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.), and sorghum (Sorghum L.). This genus is the eighth most important group of phytopathogenic fungi in the world [115]. As plant pathogens, Colletotrichum species are primarily described as causing anthracnose diseases, although other diseases such as red rot of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.), coffee berry disease (Coffea arabica L.), crown rot of strawberry (Fragaria vesca ex Weston) and banana (Musa × paradisiaca L.), and brown spot disease of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) [116].…”

Phytopathogenic fungi are responsible for diseases in commercially important crops and cause major supply problems in the global food chain. Plants were able to protect themselves from disease before humans played an active role in protecting plants. They are known to synthesize a variety of secondary metabolites (SMs), such as terpenes, alkaloids, and phenolic compounds, which can be extracted using conventional and unconventional techniques to formulate biofungicides; plant extracts have antifungal activity and various mechanisms of action against these organisms. In addition, they are considered non-phytotoxic and potentially effective in disease control. They are a sustainable and economically viable alternative for use in agriculture, which is why biofungicides are increasingly recognized as an attractive option to solve the problems caused by synthetic fungicides. Currently, organic farming continues to grow, highlighting the importance of developing environmentally friendly alternatives for crop production. This review provides a compilation of the literature on biosynthesis, mechanisms of action of secondary metabolites against phytopathogens, extraction techniques and formulation of biofungicides, biological activity of plant extracts on phytopathogenic fungi, regulation, advantages, disadvantages and an overview of the current use of biofungicides in agriculture.
