Antifungal Activity of Lantana camara L. Leaf Extracts in Different Solvents Against Some Pathogenic Fungal Strains

Management of Charcoal Rot (Macrophomina phaseolina) Infection in Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens L) Using Biocontrol Agents and Essential Oils

“…The potential of these oils can be related to the activity of many ingredients such as phenols, thymol and carvacrol. Several studies (Carmo et al 2008;Gallucci et al 2014;Fayaz et al 2017;Shabana et al 2017;Elkhwaga et al 2018) considered phenol compounds as the most effective ingredient with the highest antifungal activity among all terpene compounds of essential oils. The suggested mechanism is that monoterpene alcohols disrupt the permeability of the fungal plasma membrane and inhibit the respiration process on mitochondrial membrane (Cox et al 2000;Deba et al 2008).…”

“…studies have demonstrated that microorganisms and essential oils can be used as a biocontrol agent in controlling a number of plant diseases with a high efficacy i.e. extract of lantana showed broad antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus and A. niger (Fayaz et al 2017), Colletorichum falcatum (Sreeramulu et al 2017). Also, charcoal rot infection was substantially reduced by seed coating of mungbean and sunflower by T. harzianum, Gliocladium virens and Streptomyces sp.…”

Effect of leaf extract of Lantana camara with Maize-based coating on the quality of fresh-cut fruits of Ananas comosus and Musa acuminata

“…The leaf extract of L. camara enhanced with semi-permeable membrane influenced the antifungal potential of PEC@4 and PEC, and this might have contributed to the low fungal loads after 15 days of storage. Singh and Srivastava (2012), Fayaz et al (2017), andMusyimi et al (2017) have established the antifungal activity of leaf extract of Lantana camara against fruit spoilage fungi that includes Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, and Penicillium sp. Bashir et al (2019) documented that the ethanolic extract of L. camara inhibited the growth of the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, which might be responsible for anthracnose disease in fruits such as banana and pineapple.…”

Potential of some plant extracts in controlling wheat leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks.

“…In addition, Dabur et al (2007) found that lantana water extracts exhibited good activity against several bacteria. Methanol leaf extract of lantana showed broad (Fayaz et al 2017). Aqueous and methanolic leaf extracts of lantana showed significant inhibition against Colletorichum falcatum (the causal fungi of sugarcane red-rot disease) under in vitro conditions (Sreeramulu et al 2017).…”
