Efficacy of mangosteen peel extract and phosphonic acid on durian root rot caused by Phytophthora palmivora in vitro
Main Article Content
Abstract
Phytophthora root rot caused by Phytophthora palmivora poses a notable challenge to durian farming in Thailand. Results indicated that all treatments containing mangosteen peel extract combined with phosphonic acid exhibited 100±0.00% inhibition of mycelial growth, outperforming the purified mangosteen peel extract alone. In contrast, the mangosteen peel extract alone resulted in mycelial growth inhibition of only 52.41±5.27%-97.50±0.60%. In conclusion, the study provided valuable insights into utilizing mangosteen peel waste for controlling durian root rot disease, reducing reliance on chemical fungicides in crop protection, minimizing environmental pollution, and adding value to agricultural waste.
