Abstract: Chemical fungicides can cause drug resistance of plant pathogenic fungi, environmental pollution, and potential threats to humans and animals. Therefore, developing low-toxicity, high-efficient and environment-friendly biological control products is critical for green prevention, controlling plant fungal diseases, and maintaining ecological balance. Biocontrol research mainly includes the following aspects: antagonistic microorganisms, fungicidal proteins, RNA interference techniques and botanical fungicides. Significantly, natural products extracted from medicinal plants are valuable repertoire for inhibiting plant fungal diseases. This review systematically reviewed the research advances of using natural products from medicinal plants to inhibit plant pathogenic fungi, including the types of natural products, extraction methods, and antifungal mechanisms. The further prospects for the study and application, which provide the reference for botanical fungicide development and practical application in preventing and controlling plant fungal disease, were also discussed.
