The agricultural sector faces risks from damage caused by phytopathogens, and many farmers rely on synthetic fungicides to combat them. However, excessive use of these products pollutes the environment and promotes pathogen resistance. This study evaluated the mycelial growth inhibition of 57 plant extracts against Botrytis cinerea, Lasiodiplodia theobromae, and Fusarium sp., and their efficacy in controlling Erysiphe necator in the field. It also evaluated their phytotoxic effect on wheat seeds and the identification of metabolites present in the extracts. The most effective extracts were those of Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Conyza sumatrensis, Dysphania ambrosioides, Minthostachis mollis, Salvia sp., Pimpinella anisum, and Syzygium aromaticum. The P. anisum extract exhibited the greatest inhibition of B. cinerea growth in tomatoes, while the most effective extracts against E. necator were...

Polyphenols are compounds of secondary metabolism in plants and their action is recognized in the control against free radicals and reactive oxygen species. Th e study aimed to indicate polyphenols and their intake in fruits and vegetables as a protective action for human health due to stress against Covid-19. Given the rapid spread of the emerging pandemic Covid-19, it continues to be of great concern due to the mortality that occurs globally and there is no doubt about the level of stress in the population. Attempts to fl atten the epidemiological curve are diverse in that Covid-19 could not only aff ect psycho-mentally, but some non-communicable diseases may perhaps debut. Considering the serious situation, from the axiological point of view, a question arises: can the daily consumption of fruits and vegetables in the diet patterns generate, from the metabolic point of view, any poten...
