Nanoemulsion formulation of lemongrass essential oil using Pseudomonas-derived rhamnolipids for targeted phytopathogen suppression

mycolabadmin

This study developed a nano-sized formulation of lemongrass oil stabilized with naturally-derived rhamnolipid surfactant to fight plant fungal diseases. The formulation successfully inhibited the growth of three major plant pathogens and remained stable during storage. This bio-based approach offers farmers an environmentally-friendly alternative to synthetic chemical fungicides for protecting crops.

In Vitro Screening of the Antifungal and Antimycotoxin Effects of a Stilbenoids-Rich Grapevine Cane Extract on Fusarium graminearum, Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium expansum

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested an extract made from grapevine pruning waste to see if it could stop harmful fungi and the toxins they produce. The extract, rich in natural compounds called stilbenoids, successfully reduced growth and toxin production in three dangerous fungi that contaminate crops. The effects were strong enough that scientists believe this agricultural waste could become a natural alternative to chemical fungicides for protecting crops.
