Soil-borne diseases are a serious concern in the world
agriculture. Pathogenic microorganisms, particularly
plant pathogenic fungi, affecting plant health are a
major and chronic threat to food production and
ecosystem stability worldwide [1]. Application of a
large amount of synthetic fungicides has been
considered to be one of the cheapest and most common
approaches for the control. Even though chemical
inputs such as pesticides showed promising results in
controlling the disease, phytotoxicity and chemical
residues may pose a serious threat to the environment
and human health [2]. However, the use of some of
these practices is not always viable, and the continuous
use of pesticides has caused severe ecological problems
[3], such as these agrochemicals usually take long
timelines to be degraded completely and then cause
heavy toxicity to human being, animals, etc. [4].
Furthermore, phytopathogens have been developing huge resistances to frequent pesticides-using,
sequentially the effectiveness of these pesticides are
hugely decreased. Accordingly, it is an urgent need to
find safer antifungal substitutes which are expected to
be renewable, naturally environment-friendly and
easily obtainable
