Abstract:
Ralstonia solanacearum is a devastating soil-borne pathogen, which is difficult to control. The inhibition effects of the extracts from
Bauhinia purpurea,
Sphagneticola trilobata,
Lantana camara and
Mangifera indica leaves on
Ralstonia solanacearum were investigated by measuring the inhibition zone, antibacterial rate and minimal inhibitory concentration. The results showed that the antibacterial effect of the extract from
Sphagneticola trilobata leaves was the best, and the inhibition zone ranged from 15.00 mm to 18.13 mm, which was highly sensitive. The antibacterial rate reached 79.63% at the concentration of 0.40 g·mL
-1, which was significantly higher than that of other treatment groups. The inhibition zone of the extract from
Bauhinia purpurea and
Lantana camara leaves ranged from 10.67 mm to 15.57 mm, which were moderately sensitive, and their antibacterial rates were 58.33% and 60.37%, respectively. The antibacterial effect of the extract from
Mangifera indica leaves was the lowest.
