According to the latest EU regulations it is necessary to cut down the consumption of chemically based pesticides. Several research programmes are focussed on the study of secondary metabolites of plants, which have antimicrobial or antifungal activity against microbial phytopathogens. Other reasons for using of natural biocides are the growth of resistance of phytopathogens against several pesticides; broaden microbial attacks to significant agricultural product for food industry due to the climate changes. The presentation is focussed on the determination of the contents of secondary metabolitesleaves of several cultivars of hop – polyphenols and flavonoids. Methanol crude leaves extracts were tested on biocide effects against selected microbial phytopathogens.
