Wild honey inhibits growth of some phytopathogenic fungi in vitro [Jordan]

Wild honey was diluted to 1,000 ppm with sterile distilled water and tested in vitro for inhibition of the plant pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, Alternaria solani, Stemphylium solani, Colletotrichum sp. and Phytophthora infestans. Wild honey was effective against all these f...

Summary:Wild honey was diluted to 1,000 ppm with sterile distilled water and tested in vitro for inhibition of the plant pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, Alternaria solani, Stemphylium solani, Colletotrichum sp. and Phytophthora infestans. Wild honey was effective against all these fungi, particularly A. solani and P. infestans, the causal agents of early and late blight diseases, respectively, and also against R. solani and F. oxysporum and, to a less extent, against S. solani and Colletotrichum sp. This is the first report on the inhibiting effect of wild honey against plant pathogenic fungi [Miele selvatico e' stato diluito a 1.000 ppm con acqua distillata sterile e saggiato in relazione alla capacita' di inibizione dei funghi patogeni Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, Alternaria solani, Stemphylium solani, Colletotrichum sp. e Phytophthora infestans. Il miele selvatico si e' dimostrato attivo nei confronti di tutti questi funghi, in particolare di A. solani e P. infestans, agenti causali, rispettivamente, della peronospora precoce e tardiva, e anche verso R. solani e F. oxysporum e, in minor misura, contro S. solani e Colletotrichum sp. Questa e' la prima segnalazione dell'effetto inibitorio del miele selvatico nei confronti dei funghi patogeni delle piante]
