Resumen
In these times, in accordance with the European Green Deal and the ?Farm to Fork Strategy? there should be a strong emphasis on efforts to create a healthier and more sustainable food system. One of the key targets in this plan is the reduction by 2030 of the overall use of chemical pesticides by 50%, which prompts scientists to intensify research in the search for alternative solutions. Healthy food means safe food, free from pathogens and toxic metabolites, such as Fusarium fungi and their mycotoxins. Essential oils are a noteworthy alternative, since more and more studies have proven their strong antifungal and antimycotoxigenic activity. The presented research broadens and complements the existing knowledge in the field of practical application of oils in biological control of plant pathogens.
