Implication

This research evaluates natural antifungal products' efficacy in controlling fungal pathogens in wheat, suggesting natural alternatives to synthetic pesticides.

Key Points

The study aims to assess the antifungal activity and phytotoxicity of natural putative inhibitory products against soil-borne fungal pathogens in wheat.
Evaluated seven natural putative inhibitory products in vitro against 10 fungal pathogens.
Tested agricultural wastes and a resistance inducer product for root protection in wheat.
Conducted two greenhouse trials to assess phyto-toxicity and pathogen re-isolation.
Measured plant growth features such as germination and height.
Bergamot, pomegranate, and EP5-product exhibited the highest in vitro inhibitory effects.
EP5-product showed significant phyto-toxicity in the first trial but effectively protected roots.
In the second trial, no phyto-toxic effects were observed, but all products reduced fungal incidence on roots.
