Abstract: Influence of 4-(2-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-1-ylmethyl) phenole in functional concentration of 100 mkg/l on growth and morphological features of soil strain Aspergillus niger is investigated. Fungiostatis on growing culture and fungicidal action on more young organisms is revealed. Processing of prototypes by 4-(2-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-1-ylmethyl) phenole results in the formation of blistenings on cell walls of mycelium of fungi, appearance of plenty of empty hyphae, disturbance of apical fields germinating hyphae and escaping from them parts of intracellular contents, lysis of germinating spores.

Keywords: benzimidazol, fungicidal activity.
