“…The secondary products formed in different parts have different physiological roles and have different activities against microbes (Putra et al, 2016). Our results are in favor of some previously published work that reported the use of Mentha longifolia (Hafedh et al, 2010), M. piperita (Desam et al, 2017), Pelargonium sidoides (Mativandlela et al, 2006), Platymiscium gracile (Cuellar et al, 2018), Allium saralicum (Jalalvand et al, 2019), Eucalyptus (Bhuyan et al, 2017), different South African the aforementioned strains which shows the ineffectiveness of the drug and the resistance of the pathogens. These findings suggest the broad-spectrum antibacterial activities of S. alba methanolic extracts while narrow antifungal activities were reported.…”

The present study was aimed to manifest the antibacterial and antifungal activity of methanolic extracts of Salix alba L. against seven Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens e.g. Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus (1), S. aureus (2), Shigella sonnei, Escherichia coli (1), E. coli (2) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae and three fungal isolates from the air such as Aspergillus terreus, A. ornatus, and Rhizopus stolonifer. Two different serotypes of S. aureus and E. coli were used. The agar well-diffusion method results showed the dose-dependent response of plant extracts against bacterial and fungal strains while some organisms were found resistant e.g. E. coli (1), S. sonnei, A. terreus and R. stolonifer. The highest antibacterial activity was recorded at 17.000±1.732 mm from 100 mg/mL of leaves methanolic extracts against S. pyogenes while the activity of most of the pathogens decreased after 24 h of incubation. The highest antifungal activity was reported at 11.833±1.0 mm against A. ornatus at 50 mg/mL after 48 h of the incubation period. These experimental findings endorse the use of S. alba in ethnopharmacological formulations and suggest the use of methanolic extracts of the said plant to develop drugs to control the proliferation of resistant disease causing pathogenic microbes.

“…This fabaceous is a species widely known for its uses in different human activities and, in forestry systems, its wood is used for construction, production of household utensils, furniture, musical instruments, among others (Pacheco et al, 2012). Its wide canopy provides shade appreciated in silvopastoral systems, as well as in urban centers, where it is planted as an ornamental tree along with parks and roads (Cordero and Boshier, 2003). Additionally, its fruits and seeds are suitable for human and animal consumption, making it possible to produce flours (Cordero and Boshier, 2003).…”

“…Platymiscium pinnatum (subfamily: Faboideae) is a neotropical tree distributed from Mexico to Brazil, preferably occupying dry habitats; however, its growth is common in humid ecosystems (Saslis-Lagoudakis et al, 2008). P. pinnatum is highly valued in forestry for its wood, which is used for multiple purposes, such as construction, fine wood carvings, furniture making, and musical instruments (Cordero and Boshier, 2003). This species has been described as a nitrogen fixer, being ideal for agroforestry systems and enrichment of degraded forests (Cordero and Boshier, 2003).…”

Epidemiological analyzes of foliar diseases associated with Colletotrichum spp. in Enterolobium cyclocarpum and Platymiscium pinnatum were performed under field conditions and without any type of intervention. At the Universidad del Magdalena (Santa Marta, Colombia), four trees for each species and four equidistant monitoring sites per tree were established. The incidence and severity were recorded for 33 weeks (March to November 2016), including two follow-up periods: dry and rainy season. Disease development curves were elaborated. Moreover, the development rate (r) and the area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) were calculated for each follow-up period. The effect of the meteorological variables was statistically analyzed by correlation and multiple regression. In E. cyclocarpum, the highest incidence and severity were recorded between September and November with 100 and 19.6%, respectively, showing a positive correlation with relative humidity and negative with average temperature, solar radiation and wind speed. In P. pinnatum, the maximum values of incidence and severity were observed between March and April with 68.9 and 1.3%, respectively. However, correlation analyzes did not support their relationship with the environmental factors. The r values during the dry months were 0.136 and 0.107 units week-1 and the AUDPCs were calculated at 51 and 4 units week-1 for E. cyclocarpum and P. pinnatum, respectively. In the rainy months, the r values were 0.187 and 0.016 units week-1 and the AUDPCs were 186 and 2 units week-1, respectively. In conclusion, the development of the disease varies according to the forest species, time of year and some meteorological variables.
