The work provides generalized information on the chemical composition, therapeutic properties and forms of application of Phlomis pungens Willd., Chenopodium botrys L., Leucanthemum vulgare Lam., Conyza canadensis (L.) Cronq., Anthemis rigescens Willd., Eupatorium cannabinum L. the distribution of these species in
the regions of the Guba massif of the Greater Caucasus (within Azerbaijan), their phytocenological features and stocks. The antifungal activity of the plants themselves and their water extracts has been studied. It has been established that the plants themselves (except for Chenopodium botrys) are a good breeding ground for colonies of the fungi Trichoderma lignorum, Fusarium oxysporum, and Aspergillus niger. Water extracts of Chenopodium bothrys and Eupatorium cannabinum have the highest fungistatic activity against all of the above-mentioned fungi. Key words: medicinal and aromatic plants, resource science, biologicallyactive compounds, therapeutic properties, form of application, antifungal activity.
