The use of natural antimicrobial compounds in crop production has gained much attention from consumers and the agricultural industry. Consequently, interest in more natural, non-synthetic antimicrobials as potential alternatives to conventional chemical pesticides to combat phytopathogens has heightened. Tea polyphenol (TP), a unique and highly important functional component of tea plants, has been reported to possess antimicrobial properties against a wide spectrum of plant pathogens. The aim of this review is to discuss the emerging findings on the mechanisms of antimicrobial action, and the antimicrobial properties of TP, including their major components, effectiveness, and synergistic effects. More studies, particularly field studies, are still necessary to establish conclusive evidence for the effectiveness of TP against phytopathogens. However, the basic conclusion from existing studies suggests that TP is a potential antimicrobial agent for pesticide reduction in agricultural systems.
在作物生产中使用天然抗菌化合物已经引起了消费者和农业产业的广泛关注。因此，人们对更多天然、非合成的抗菌剂作为传统化学农药的潜在替代品来对抗植物病原体的兴趣日益浓厚。茶多酚（TP）是茶树中一种独特且非常重要的功能性成分，据报道具有广谱抗植物病原体的抗菌特性。本综述旨在讨论抗菌作用机制和 TP 的抗菌特性的新发现，包括其主要成分、有效性和协同作用。仍需要更多的研究，特别是田间研究，以建立 TP 对植物病原体有效性的确凿证据。然而，现有研究的基本结论表明，TP 是农业系统中减少农药使用的一种潜在抗菌剂。
