The Activity of Two Different Solutions against Selected Fungal Phyto-Pathogens

Abstract

Two different solutions differing in their composition were tested against the following fungal phyto-pathogens: Cladosporium cladosporioides, Alternaria infectoria, Botrytis cinerea, Monilia fructigena, Aspergillus clavatus and Penicillium digitatum. The two different solutions were a fatty acid-based DPB solution and the development batch of a substance labeled M-decanocide. The tested species of fungal phyto-pathogens, namely Penicillium digitatum, Aspergillus clavatus and Cladosporium cladosporioides, grew rapidly and sporulated heavily on the agar plates with the product M-decanocide applied. In Aspergillus clavatus and Cladosporium cladosporioides cases, growth-free zones were formed around the cuts when the tested solution was applied, which confirmed its positive antifungal effect. The fungicidal effect of the tested DPB solution was not confirmed for the selected fungal phyto-pathogens.
