An enzyme composition is provided comprising: (i) at least three enzymes selected from a carboxymethyl cellulase, anα-mannanase, a xylanase, a chitinase, a #-glucanase, a cutinase and a pectinase, wherein at least one of the enzymes is a carboxymethyl cellulase, anα-mannanase, or a xylanase, and (ii) a diluent. A method of treating a plant having a fungal disease, or protecting a plant from a fungal disease is also provided. The method comprises applying to the plant an enzyme composition comprising: (i) a carboxymethyl cellulase, anα-mannanase, or a xylanase, and (ii) a diluent. The composition and method are useful alternatives to agrochemical fungicides, because they are environmentally safe, and possess a similar or improved activity against fungal pathogens.
