Abstract:
The interest in management
fire blight prevention and control increased
considerably in last years due to pathogen
spread almost throughout the country. The
objective of this paper focuses on testing of
some plant extracts such as Salvia
officinalis, Thymus serpyllum, Pelargonium
odoratissimum, Hedera helix, Ocimum
basilicum, Levisticum officinale, Tagetes
patula, Galium verum and different
pesticides against an Erwinia amylovora
strain isolated from quince dameged
samples. In this study, the biological
material was represented by quince shoots,
harvested from pomological collection of
"Vasile Adamachi" farm, which belongs to
University of Agricultural Science and
Veterinary Medicine Iaşi. The research were
performed in the Phytopathology laboratory.
Following the experiment performed note
that among the eight plant extracts a good
antibacterial activity has Pelargonium
odoratissimum, Ocimum basilicum and
Salvia officinalis and of the three pesticides,
Alcupral 50 PU. Contrary to expectations
worst results were obtained after testing
Aliette 80 WG and Hedera helix products.
The results were estimated statisticaly, by
performing ANOVA test.
