“…Fusarium oxysporum: It is well represented in soil fungal communities; all strains of F. oxysporum are saprophytic and can grow and survive for long periods in soil organic matter and in the rhizospheres of many plant species. In general, this phytopathogen penetrates the roots and causes rot in the vascular system of crops and ornamental plants [114]. Ramírez et al [92] obtained extracts from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni and seven fractions to test their antifungal activity in vitro and in tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.) inoculated with F. oxysporum.…”

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.
