This research investigated natural plant compounds as potential treatments for common scab disease in potatoes, a significant agricultural problem worldwide. The study found that certain plant extracts and flavonoids (natural compounds found in many plants) can effectively kill the bacteria that cause this disease. This discovery could lead to safer, natural alternatives to conventional antibiotics in agriculture. Impacts on everyday life: • Could lead to better quality potatoes with fewer blemishes in grocery stores • May reduce food waste due to improved crop protection • Offers potential for safer, natural agricultural treatments • Could help lower food costs by reducing crop losses • Provides environmentally friendly alternatives to synthetic pesticides
