abstract = "A modern sustainable approach in agricultural practice would
be a replacement of synthetic and toxic substances in the
treatment of crop with benign and environmentally friendly
compounds, by using principles of green chemistry. One of
the possible directions could be using of ionic liquids (ILs),
salts with melting points below 100 °C, which are well-known
for manifesting antimicrobial activity. ILs can be used in the
development of novel sources of antimicrobial agents such as
antiseptics, biocides and antifungal agents. Furthermore, ILs
have already been reported as alternative ‘green’ solvents for a
wide range of reactions and technological processes. Considering the importance of research in the area of bioactivity of
ILs for discovery of new green ILs for diff erent purposes, the
aim of this study was to examine antifungal activity of nine
newly synthesized ILs against phytopathogenic Alternaria
strains isolated from from rice (A. padwickii), carrot (A. dauci) and linseed (A. linicola). Antifungal eff ect was estimated
by micro-plate microdilution method for establishing minimum inhibitory (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC). All ionic liquids showed strain specifi c but good
antifungal activity on Alternaria strains with MIC and MFC
detected at the range from 9.23 mg/ml to 75.89 mg/ml. Only
in case of the 1-(4-hydroxy-2-oxy)butyl -3-methylimidazolium chloride [OHC2OC2mIm][Cl], no antifungal eff ect on
A. dauci were observed. Comparing to A. padwickii and A.
dauci., A. linicola showed higher sensitivity to all tested ILs.
Th e obtained results indicate the possibility of usage of ILs
in biocontrol of plant diseases, representing their application
in crop protection. However, further research is necessary in
order to examine their toxicity and biodegradability in the environment.",
