Effect of Moroccan Plants against Phytopathogenic Microorganisms: A Review.

ABSTRACT

Plant diseases caused by microorganisms are a major problem that touches many agricultural crops, causing damages in yield potential each year in Morocco as in other countries. To face this burden, medicinal plants are among the richest bio-resources of the drugs currently used for biological control. This review cites sixty two Moroccan plants with antimicrobial properties. The activities described here show that there are many potential plants that should undergo further application studies in the field to assess their possible use as bio-pesticide.
