Potato ( L) cultivation originated from Peru in Latin America. The cultivation has spread fast across the globe due to its ability to cope in the warm tropical and temperate climate. It is spotted by the United Nations as the only tuberous crop that can compete with the cereals in productivity. Fungal disease infestation has been identified as a major challenge confronting the farmers during the cultivation and marketing processes. Farmers' reliance on Chemical fungicides has lost its credibility to the adoption of the use of biofungicides due to its toxic, high cost, and environmental hazard effects. The trend of the adoption of biofungicides by potato farmers is gaining ground at a fast rate. Various national governments are devising means of collaborating with the United Nations stakeholders through encouraging research funding and by organizing conferences that will enhance potato production. This could be achieved by minimizing losses through farmer's complete adoption of biofungicides. This review, therefore, examines the various botanicals with antimicrobial properties as potential biofungicide against fungi diseases of potato.
马铃薯（L）的种植起源于拉丁美洲的秘鲁。由于其能够适应温暖的热带和温带气候，这种作物在全球范围内迅速传播。它被联合国认定为唯一一种在产量上能与谷物相媲美的块茎作物。真菌病害侵袭已被确认为农民在种植和销售过程中面临的主要挑战。由于化学杀菌剂有毒、成本高且对环境有危害，农民对其依赖度降低，转而采用生物杀菌剂。马铃薯种植户采用生物杀菌剂的趋势正在迅速发展。各国政府正在通过鼓励研究资金投入以及组织促进马铃薯生产的会议等方式，想方设法与联合国利益相关者开展合作。这可以通过让农民全面采用生物杀菌剂以减少损失来实现。因此，本综述研究了各种具有抗菌特性的植物提取物作为防治马铃薯真菌病害的潜在生物杀菌剂。
