AGRICULTURAL ANTIBACTERIAL FORMULATION FOR THE CONTROL OF PSEUDOMONAS SYRINGAE

Abstract

The present invention relates to an agricultural antibacterial formulation of plant origin for the control of Pseudomonas syringae. The formulation comprises a synergistic combination of extracts from Kalanchoe tubiflora leaves and Ternstroemia lineata flowers, a non-ionic surfactant, and an agriculturally acceptable carrier. The combination exhibits an increased percentage of bacterial growth inhibition against Pseudomonas syringae compared to the individual extracts, showing a quantifiable synergistic effect with a FIC index less than or equal to 0.5. The formulation is applicable in sustainable agricultural systems for use in greenhouses and open fields.
