Twenty five compounds isopropylmethylphenyl benzenesulfonate derivatives of thymol (1), 4-isopropyl-3-methylphenol (2), 5-isopropyl-3-methylphenol (3), 4-isopropylphenol (4), and 2-isopropylphenol (5) derivatives were synthesized. These compounds were analyzed for their structural confirmation with IR, GC/MS, and $^1H$-NMR. Synthetic compounds were tested against phytopathogenic fungi activities such as Pyrcularia grisea, Rhizoctonia solani, Phytophthora infestans, Colletotrichum orbiculare, and Sphaerotheca fusca. 2-Isopropyl-5-methylphenyl o-toluenesulfonate (1a), 2-isopropylphenyl 2,4,5-trichloro-benzenesulfonate (5b) and 2-isopropylphenyl 2-methyl-5-nitrobenzenesulfonate (5e) showed a potent in vivo antifungal activity against Pyrcularia grisea, Phytophthora infestans and Sphaerotheca fusca.

Forty one compounds such as ester, sulfonyl ester, carbamate, ether and phosphoyl ester derivatives of thymol(I) and carvacrol(II) were synthesized. These derivatives were identified by IR, GC/MS and $^1H$-NMR spectra. Their antifungal activities were tested against various plant pathogenicfugi. Among them, several compounds were showed potent in vivo antifungal activities. The selected compounds showing in vitro antifungal activities were tested in vivo antifungal activities aganint 5 plant diseases such as rice blast, rice sheath blight, tomato late blight, cucumber anthracnose, and cucumber gray mold. As a result, 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenylacetate(I-1a) effectively suppressed the development cucumber gray mold and rice blast. Methyl(2-isopropyl-5-methylphenoxy)acetate(I-6d) and ethyl 4-(5-methyl-2-isopopylphenoxy)crotonate(I-7d) also showed potent in vivo antifungal actively againt rice sheath blight and tomato late blight, respectively.

Species of Genus Trichoderma are commercially applied as biological control agents against fungal Pathogens. A powerful biocontrol agent, Trichoderma sp. SJG-99721 was isolated from 305 isolates by morphological characters, chitinase activities and antifungal activities against Phytophthora capsiei. The isolate was identified as Trichoderma harzianum from various features such as growth rate at $27^\circ{C}$, significant growth ratio of $27^\circ{C}$ to $17^\circ{C}$, amount of aerial mycelium, types of branching: system, and disposition patterns of phialide and phialospore. Trichoderma harzianum SJG-99721 have been shown to act as a powerful biological agent against fungal phytopathogens; Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani, Phytophthora cryptogea, Phytophthora capsiei, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Mycoshaerella melonis, Alternaria sotani, Fusarium oxysporum, Collectotrichum gloesporioodes, Alternaria alternata, Phythium ultimum, Phytophthora drechsleri, Pyricularia grisea.
