ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF PLANT EXTRACTS AGAINST XANTHOMONAS AXONOPODIS PV. PUNICAE CAUSING BACTERIAL BLIGHT OF POMEGRANATE (PUNICA GRANATUM L.)
S K Alane, C S Swami
Abstract :
Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is the important fruit crop cultivated throughout the world. It is famous for its refreshing fruits. The crop is affected by ‘bacterial blight’ caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae, which is responsible for the failure of crop. It results in the dropping of leaves as well as fruits. It is very hard to manage the disease with chemicals as well as antibiotics and farmers suffer from heavy economic losses. In the present study, aqueous, ethyl alcohol and acetone extracts of ten medicinally useful plants were used against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae in vitro. The plant extracts showed antibacterial activity and caused inhibition of growth of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. Punicae. Among them, Mentha spicata, Murraya Koeninngi, Allium sativum and Tridax procumbens caused maximum inhibition of the test bacterium.
