“…The uronic acid is also distinct for antifungal activity (Martinez et al, 2009), while the 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid has more complex biological activity, such as antifungal, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer (Raman et al, 2012;Zayed et al, 2019;Kumar et al, 2022a). The 1,2benzenedicarboxylic acid is also beneficial as an effective biopesticide (as larvicidal and pupicidal) in control, especially for Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti (Kumar et al, 2022b).…”

In horticultural crops, including chili, the wide use of synthetic fungicides has manifested to control anthracnose disease; however, these chemicals have some side effects to deal with. In reducing the dependency on synthetic fungicides, other alternatives and means need searching to prevent pathogenic fungi. Therefore, the presented study sought to examine plant extracts with the potential to inhibit the growth of pathogenic fungi Colletotrichum acutatum, the causal organism of anthracnose disease in chili. This study collected 20 potential plant species for the investigation. The leaf extraction used the maceration method in methanol and n-hexane. The contents of chemical compounds sustained the GC-MS analysis. All the leaf extracts tested for their bioactivity underwent the colony method and diffusion well. The results revealed that out of 20 types of plants, six plant species were capable of inhibiting the growth of C. acutatum fungi, including Piper nigrum, Piper ornatum, Piper retrofractum, Ficus septica, Samanea saman, and Tithonia diversifolia. The leaf extract of F. septica has the highest inhibition rate (81.11%) for the growth of C. acutatum compared with other plant leaf extracts. The GC-MS analysis of the F. septica leaf extract showed the presence of 15 types of metabolite constituents, with nine having antimicrobial activities.
