Abstract :

Plant pathogens cause severe economic losses in agricultural crops and the environment around the world. The use of appropriate, cost-effective and none polluting control procedures on plant diseases is still developing. In recent years, cold plasma sterilization plant pathogens have been considered one of the most important research topics in the world. Ionized gas called plasma is referred to as a substantial portion which has lost all or a remarkable amount of its atoms and electrons and positive ions. Such as reactive oxygen species, OH free radicals and etc. which comes fungi disease by the destruction of fatty asides and protein molecules placed inside the cell membrane of pathogenic fungi which brings to plant infection. In this review study, the cold atmospheric plasma and its effects are considered on plant pathogenic fungi as a tool used for effective control preventing the spread of pollution which is due to be addressed
