Essential oils and whole milk in the control of soybean powdery mildew

Abstract

This research aimed to evaluate the potential of essential oils (EOs) and cow's whole milk (CWM) in order to control soybean powdery mildew and to estimate the most effective concentrations of these natural products in reducing the

Thymus vulgarisessential oil and thymol againstAlternaria alternata(Fr.) Keissler: effects on growth, viability, early infection and cellular mode of action

“…Consequently, much research has been conducted concerning the capability of natural products against plant pathogens . Much research has demonstrated the effectiveness of essential oils (EOs) against plant pathogens, and Thymus vulgaris and Thymus spp. have regularly been shown to perform well, occasionally presenting levels of control comparable with those achieved with commercial fungicides .…”

Fungicide activity of milk and whey powders towardsErysiphe necator, the causal agent of powdery mildew of grapevine

“…More recently, the activity of milk has been investigated on pumpkin and courgette with respect to Sphaeroteca fuliginea, demonstrating a certain activity in controlling the disease (Bettiol, 1999;Ferrandino et al, 2006). Subsequently, the milk was tested for its effectiveness for the first time in Australia against the powdery mildew of the vine (Crisp & Bruer, 2001), tomato (Khairy et al, 2018), and soybean (Perina et al, 2013). Whey has also been found to be effective in controlling Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV) in tomato (Abdelbacki et al, 2010).…”

Action of Ganoderma lucidum mycelial growth filtrates on Erysiphe diffusa and embryotoxicity assessment in a chicken embryo model

“…Transmission of the disease can occur through the dispersion of spores and by infected seeds and plant remains, for example, which makes it difficult to control (Pérez-Vega et al 2013). Application of fungicides is the most used control method (Perina et al 2013); though, it can cause problems, such as the selection of resistant pathogenic strains and environmental contamination (Resende et al 2009). Hence, the identification of antimicrobial compounds with unique and versatile aspects, such as low toxicity and antimicrobial potency is crucial (Jogaiah et al 2019).…”
