Abstract
Environment-friendly, commercially-available agricultural products were investigated for antimicrobial activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, as a pathogen of sclerotium disease. Then β-thujaplicin from Chamaecyparis obtuse was investigated for antifungal activity against six kinds of pathogenic fungi. It showed a statistically significant (p <0.001) growth inhibition effect on Sclerotinia sclerotiorum as a pathogen of sclerotium disease, Rhizoctonia solani AG-4 as a pathogen of damping off, Phytophthora capsici as a pathogen of phytophthora blight, and Colletotrichum coccodes as a pathogen of anthracnose at a concentration of 50 ppm and on Stemphylium solani as a pathogen of spotting disease and Alternaria alternata as a pathogen of black mold at a concentration of 100 ppm. In conclusion, these results indicate that it may be possible to develop environment-friendly agricultural products using β-thujaplicin compounds.
