Inhibition Effect of Different Propolis Extracts against Fusarium solani in vitro

Propolis is a natural brownish by-product created by honey bees. Due to the antimicrobial components it contains, propolis has been widely tested against important fungal pathogens that cause agricultural damage. The diluent used in extraction of causes differences total phenolic compounds and properties propolis. Fusarium solani, division Ascomycota, infectious many cultivated crops such as peas, beans, potatoes, cucurbits, maize, resulting significant crop losses. In most plants, generally leads rot, wilt necrotic spots eventual plant death. this study, antifungal effect collected from Bingöl province Turkey was evaluated against, with 9 groups applications. order determine between preparations critical dose levels, 3 different (Ethanol, (Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), pure purified supercritical fluid method) were applied concentrations (100µl, 200µl, 600µl) PDA medium. statistical results study showed extracts are more effective at increasing doses (around 30% for 600 µl) mycelial growth pathogen. Furthermore, ethanol moderate 33% µl), while DMSO less 58% µl). This first report showing fungicidal activity SFE method using CO2 on F. solani. may shed light development drug-based strategies fungal-borne phytopathogens future studies.
