magnolol is used as a bactericide to be applied to prevention and treatment of sweet potato pathogenic fungal diseases, the diseases are sweet potato rot, and the
pathogen is
Trichoderma hamatum. Bacteriostatic
plant source compound screening is carried out on novel sweet potato pathogenic fungi, it is found that
magnolol shows the best inhibitory activity on
trichoderma hamatum, and in addition, the fungicidal composition with magnolol as the
active ingredient shows a good protection effect on sweet potato rot caused by the novel
pathogen. The magnolol has relatively high safety and environmental compatibility and can inhibit various pathogenic fungi, the magnolol is taken as an
active component, a green and safe prevention and control method for the
trichoderma hamatum rot of the sweet potatoes is formulated, an important reference is provided for
disease management after the sweet potatoes are harvested, and the method is suitable for popularization and application of the
trichoderma hamatum rot of the sweet potatoes. The magnolol as the botanical
fungicide has high application potential in prevention and control of
plant diseases. And an important reference is provided for
