The influence of glucosinolates isolated from oilseed rape seeds on the growth of pathogenic fungi infecting oilseed rape was studied. The activity of those compounds against 3 fungal species was tested in vitro. It was stated that glucosinolates present in the medium did not totally inhibit the growth of the fungi, but considerably confined the area of colonies of 2 out of 3 fungal species studied.

The influence of oilseed rape glucosinolates on the grown in vitro pathogenic fungi was studied. Two pathogenic to oilseed rape fungi species: Fusarium roseum and Rhizoctonia so/ani were taken into consideration. It was observed that glucosinolates added to the medium limited the growth of both tested fungi to some extent, especially when higher concentrations of glucosinolates was supplied.
