Abstract: Fungal diseases of crops affect crop quantity and quality and have become a major impediment to the development of sustainable agriculture. The widespread use of synthetic fungicides leads to ecological problems, food contamination and serious damage to human health. Biocontrol of phytopathogens using actinomycetes is a less dangerous option. In this research we tested the antifungal activity of three actinomycetes strains from the genera Streptomyces, Micromonospora și Actinomadura from the water and silt of La Izvor lake All strains had a moderate power to inhibit the development of the fungi Alternaria alternata and Botrytis cinerea, but practically did not affect the development of Fusarium solani and Fusarium oxysporum.
