Abstract
The effect of plant essential oils, Solanum chilense and Aster sedifolius raw saponins, plant-derived colourants and Brassica carinata glucosinolate-containing tissues, for the control of seedborne fungi Alternaria dauci, Alternaria radicina, Colletotrichum lindemuthianum and Ascochyta rabiei, was evaluated. In vitro assays indicated that oregano essential oil, bark chestnut-derived colourant and B. carinata meals, showed a large spectrum of activity against all pathogens. S. chilense raw saponins were effective against A. dauci and A. radicina, while those from A. sedifolius also inhibited significantly C. lindemuthianum. Screening showed the antifungal potential of natural compounds.
