文摘

Essential oils were extracted from the fruits of Coriandrum sativum L. and Foeniculum vulgare Millervar. vulgare (Miller) and assayed in vitro for antibacterial activity to Escherichia coli and Bacillusmegaterium, bacteria routinely used for comparison in the antimicrobial assays, and 27 phytopathogenic bacterial species and two mycopathogenic ones responsible for cultivated mushroom diseases.A significant antibacterial activity, as determined with the agar diffusion method, was shown by C.sativum essential oil whereas a much reduced effect was observed for F. vulgare var. vulgare oil. C.sativum and F. vulgare var. vulgare essential oils may be useful natural bactericides for the controlof bacterial diseases of plants and for seed treatment, in particular, in organic agriculture. Thesignificant antibacterial activity of essential oils to the bacterial pathogens of mushrooms appearspromising.Keywords: Natural bactericides; bacterial disease control; plant pathogenic bacteria; mycopathogens;plant extracts; essential oils; Coriandrum sativum; Foeniculum vulgare var. vulgare
