Action of 2-Amino-1, 3, 4-thiadiazole in Controlling Plant Diseases

I. Antibacterial activity and controlling effect on some bacterial diseases

Abstract

During screening compounds for the control of plant diseases, 2-amino-1, 3, 4-thiadiazole (ATDA) was found to be effective against bacterial leaf blight of rice, citrus canker and, at fairly high dosage, bacterial wilt of tomato.
ATDA showed bacteriostatic activity against some Xanthomonas species and Pseudomonas solanacearum, and was considered to behave as nicotinamide antagonist in the bacteria.
