Control of anthracnose on fresh banana clusters by N-benzoyl-L-leucine was studied. Efficacy was juged from the number of lesions formed on banana rind inoculated with spores of Gloeosporium musarum. Soaking a banana cluster into 1000 ppm N-benzoyl-L-leucine after inoculation was more effective than preliminary treatment of the fungicide.
The inhibitory action of N-benzoyl-L-leucine on the fungus was clearly recognized under a microscope as the inhibition of hyphal elongation.
