Overview

In vitro analysis demonstrates concentration-dependent growth inhibition across phytopathogenic fungi, indicating the antimycotic potential of chitosan.

Key Points

  • Fungal mycelial growth decreases linearly as chitosan concentration rises, achieving complete growth suppression at elevated treatment thresholds.
  • Minimum inhibitory concentration reaches 0.25% for three fungal species, whereas complete growth inhibition of M. phaseolina requires exceeding 0.25%.
  • Principal component analysis reveals varying species sensitivity to chitosan, supporting its utility as an antimycotic agent against plant pathogens.
