Abstract
Sixteen volatile compounds occurring naturally in fruits were tested for their effects on spore germination and growth of Monilinia fructicola and Botrytis cinerea. Nine of these compounds (benzaldehyde, benzyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, .delta.-decalactone, .gamma.-caprolactone, .gamma.-decalactone, .gamma.-octalactone, methyl salicylate, and .gamma.-valerolactone) greatly inhibited spore germination of both fungi at 1,250 .mu.l/L. Benzaldehyde totally inhibited spore germination of B. cinerea at 25 .mu.l/L and germination of M. fructicola at 125 .mu.l/L. Three of the compounds (benzaldehyde, methyl salicylate, and ethyl benzoate) completely inhibited growth of M. fructicola and B. cinerea at 370 .mu.l/L. Ethyl benzoate was fungicidal against M. fructicola and fungistatic against B. cinerea, whereas methyl salicylate and benzaldehyde were fungicidal against both fungi.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
