摘要

Plant diseases of crops cause huge economic losses in agricultural and ornamental production as well as in public green. Effective management and control of the disease is a major problem and a big challenge for the agricultural production. Applications (in the form of sprays) of extracts derived preferably from the aboveground parts of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant, reduces and controls fungal infestation severity of plants. The effective disease reduction is attributed to the anti-fungal properties of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant extract. Application of the extract on crop plants indicates an alternative and new method of managing fungal infections. New extracts with anti-fungal properties are revealed throughout this invention.
