Abstract
The present study was designed to evaluate in vitro antibacterial activity of herbal extracts against five plant pathogenic bacteria (viz. Xanthomonas campestris, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae, Erwinia spp., Pseudomonas syringae and Xanthomonas citri). Herbal extracts of leaves and rinds of Garcinia indica, rhizomes of Curcuma aromatica, roots of Glyccyrrhiza glabra, leaves of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis and seeds of Vernonia anthelmintica were used for screening. Screening was done using agar well diffusion method. Relatively potent extracts were shortlisted from this study and were further studied to find out their minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). From the studies, it was observed that extracts of C. aromatica, G. indica and G. glabra have shown lowest MBC values among other tested plant extracts. This study indicates the potential of these potent plant extracts in the management of diseases caused by plant pathogenic bacteria.
