Argemone mexicana contains secondary metabolites that control phytopathogenic fungi

Keywords: Argemone mexicana, Biofungicides, Phytopathogenic fungi, Secondary metabolites

Abstract

Plant diseases caused by phytopathogenic fungi limit crop production worldwide. Until now, the main control method has been synthetic fungicides, but their uncontrolled use causes severe health and environmental problems. Environmentally friendly alternatives are currently being sought; Biofungides made from plant extracts are a promising alternative for the control of phytopathogens. Some extracts obtained from Argemone mexicana contain secondary metabolites such as: alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids and phenolic compounds, among others, which report biological activity against fungi that infect crops of commercial interest.
