Abstract
In continuation of our ongoing efforts to search for plant based ecofriendly bio-protectant against disease of fruit crops, 37 plants samples of thirty plant species were bio-assayed by agar diffusion methods against Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae, a causal organism of bacterial canker of peach. The fruit extracts of Terminalia chebula has shown a very strong inhibitory activity against Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae. The various parts of Terminalia belerica (bark, fruit, leaf and stem) have also shown more or less equal inhibitory effect against the test bacterium. The combined extracts of Terminalia belerica back and fruits of Terminalia chebula in general showed a strong enhancement in activities over these individual extracts of bark extracts. Some of the other plants such as Acacia arabicae, Caesalpinia bonducella, Rosa damascena and Terminalia arjuna also showed the inhibitory effect against the test bacteria.
