Overview

Observational analysis demonstrates antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea in wheat seeds, suggesting sustainable farming alternatives.

Key Points

  • The extracts significantly inhibited the mycelial growth of various phytopathogens, which may reduce reliance on synthetic fungicides.
  • Particularly, Pimpinella anisum showed the greatest antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea and Erysiphe necator, indicating a reliable control method.
  • Evaluation of 57 plant extracts revealed phytotoxic effects on wheat seeds, raising concerns for agricultural use and crop safety.
  • Identified metabolites include flavonoids and tannins, which contribute to the antifungal efficacy and potential benefits for sustainable agriculture.
