A composition of active ingredients for fighting plant diseases, composed of at least two different active ingredients, selected from the group of stilbenes and/or derivatives thereof on the one hand and of the group of galloylated flavan-3-ols and/or derivatives thereof, and/or of the group of proanthocyanidins and/or derivatives thereof on the other hand. As an alternative, the at least two different active ingredients can be selected from the group of galloylated flavan-3-ols and/or derivatives thereof and/or from the group of proanthocyanidins and/or derivatives thereof. The novel mixtures have a higher effect than the individual components, there is a synergistic effect. The invention further relates to a method for fighting fungal plant diseases using the aforementioned active ingredients.
