Using diseased corn and soybean plants for making compost should be exploited as a potential means of eradication for some plant pathogens. Biological processes such as antagonism during decomposition of plant debris, increasing of temperature and changing of pH in the compost bed are major factors observed. The results showed that the population of pathogenic fungi, Helminthosporium maydis and Curvularia lunata on corn plants, and Colletotrichum dematium var truncatum on soybean plant, decreased to the minimum and diminished within 30 days, provision of a commercial activator, B-2, was added and decreasing time for decomposition of plant debris was observed
