Studies on the Activities of Antibiotics Against Plant Pathogenic Microorganisms

Abstract

In recent several years, applications of antibiotics to plant pathogenic microorganisms have been frequently reported in various scientific journals. 1)–7) But, each of these experiments was carried out under different conditions and it was difficult to compare the activities of various antibiotics to many sorts of plant pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, authours intended to make a comparative study on the activities of various known antibiotics against main virulent plant pathogenes in our country under the same experimental condition. The purpose of this experiment is to serve as the basal data for further phytopathologic studies. But it must be noted that this experiment has been carried out only in vitro and the same results can not be always expected in vivo.
