Potentials of floristic components in productive mountain agroecosystems for the control of Fusarium sp.

Abstract

The in vitro activity against fusarium sp. of extracts of six species of plants in productive agroecosystems of ​​Nipe- Sagua-Baracoa mountainous area. The species were collected in agroecosystems from the localities of Las Municiones, Riíto and Raizú in Yateras municipality from Guantánamo province, and from Majayara in Sagua de Tánamo municipality, Holguín province. The phytochemical screening of the species was carried out and hydroalcoholic extracts were obtained, which were tested in vitro against fusarium sp. at 15% concentration. The crude extracts of the species C. paradisi (seeds) and E. pulcherrima significantly inhibited them and the cell growth of Fusarium sp., being the highest inhibitory effect when applying the extract of C. Paradisi.
