Turkish Pollen, Propolis Extracts Effective Against Plant Pathogens

Antibacterial Activities of Turkish Pollen and Propolis Extracts Against Plant Bacterial Pathogens
Journal of Food Engineering, Volume 77, Issue 4 , December 2006, Pages 992-996

Abstract: The “in vitro” antibacterial activities of Turkish pollen and propolis extracts were investigated against 13 different species of agricultural bacterial pathogens…

Among the tested bacteria, A. tumefaciens was the most sensitive one to 1/5 concentration of pollen extract…

The least active concentrations towards the tested bacteria were 1/100 of the pollen extract and 1/1000 of the propolis extract. This study is the first report on the antibacterial activities of pollen and propolis against the plant pathogenic bacteria.
