Background: One of the main problems that fruit health has gone through in recent years is the problematic eradication of their fungal pathogens during crops or the post-harvest stage. This concerns the whole world because it represents huge production losses, fruit export restrictions, and consumer distrust. Consequently, new alternatives are sought to avoid the increasing use of fungicides that cause important damage to fruit consumers and the environment. One of the alternatives to solve this problem could be exploring plants and their active compounds applied to the treatment of fruit health. Materials and Methods: This article describes peach production worldwide and particularly in Argentina, in addition to the main fungal rot that ca...
