Article Synopsis
- Allorhizobium (Agrobacterium) vitis is a pathogenic bacterium that causes crown gall disease in grapevines, negatively impacting growth and production globally.
- Essential oils from Origanum compactum and Thymus vulgaris displayed strong antibacterial effects against A. vitis, with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 0.156 mg/mL and 0.312 mg/mL, respectively.
- A combined application of these essential oils not only exhibited a synergistic antibacterial effect but also significantly reduced gall symptoms and tumor size in tomato and grapevine plants when tested in vivo.
