- Cherries are a very tasty and useful fruit raw material used in the food industry both fresh and processed. Due to their rich chemical composition, the fruits are often affected by pathogens such as fungi of the Alternaria genus, Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium expansum, fungi of the Cladosporium genus (most often Cladosporium herbarum), fungi of the Rhizopus genus and fungi of the Monilinia genus. Primary and secondary control of cherry fruits does not suppress all types of disease. Pathogens Botrytis cinereal, mushrooms of the Alternaria and Monilinia genera, even after careful primary and secondary control, remain and spoil the whole batch of goods, and the fungus Penicillium expansum can appear on the fruits during ripening. Rotting of cherries cause pathogenic microorganisms, that is why a composition of extracts with strong general fungicidal and fungistatic properties should be used to develop a protective agent, which will refuse to use toxic synthetic fungicides. We recommend using a combination of extracts from eucalyptus leaves, basil herbs and thyme to develop a technology for the production of protective means for spraying cherries. Eucalyptus leaves are a well-known medicinal plant material widely used in modern pharmacy, cosmetology and aromology. This evergreen tree plant of the Myrtaceae family has evolved many protective mechanisms against pathogens during the evolution. Aromatic basil is an annual herbaceous plant. In pharmacy and cosmetology, almost all plants are used as plant raw materials: inflorescences, leaves and stems that are characteristic for harvesting herbaceous plants. Thyme is a plant with well-studied broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antifungal properties required for the development of a cherry fruit remedy. In the pharmaceutical industry, thyme is used as a raw material to produce thymol. This terpene compound causes its influence on microorganisms. Current scientific literature indicates that a composition using the above extracts may become a new effective fungicide to be used in the agricultural sector.
