Abstract

The objective of the research is to find the effect of different plant extracts and antibiotics at different concentrations against Xanthomanas axonopodis pv. citri causing citrus canker. The result indicates that all the plant extracts used in the study are effective and among them Neem and Garlic are found to be most effective in all the concentrations. While antibiotics used in this study are found to be more effective than plant extracts. Among the antibiotics most effective are Chloramphanicol, Streptocyclin and Tetracyclin against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri.
