The invention relates to certain combinations of antimicrobial proteins which result in an enhanced improvement of antifungal activity against a range of fungi wherein the antifungal activity of the combination has a larger effect than the combination of the antifungal properties of the individual components. The combination of antifungal protein from Radish and a second antimicrobial protein selected from the group consisting of an antimicrobial protein from Mirabilis or Impatiens is claimed. Cette invention se rapporte à certaines associations de protéines antimicrobiennes qui produisent une amélioration accrue de leur action antifongique contre une large gamme de champignons. L'action antifongique de l'association des protéines a un effet plus grand que l'association des propriétés antifongiques des constituants individuels. L'association d'une protéine antifongique tirée du radis et d'une seconde protéine antimicrobienne choisie dans le groupe constitué par une protéine antimicrobienne tirée de la plante Mirabilis ou Impatiense est revendiquée.
