In vitro activities of Maesa lanceolata extracts against fungal plant pathogens

Abstract

In vitro tests were carried out using extracts of Maesalanceolata var. goulungensis weiragainst a broad range of fungal plantpathogens such as Phytophthora cryptogea, Trichoderma virens, Aspergillus niger, Phoma sp., Fusarium oxysporium, Pythium ultimum, Cochliobolus heterostrophus, Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotium rolfsii and Pyrenophora teres. M. lanceolataextracts were very active against all the pathogens tested except P. ultimum and R. solani.
