Article Synopsis
- Natural products like citronellal are being studied for their effectiveness against crop pests and diseases.
- Citronellal showed strong inhibition effects on the target pathogens, with specific EC values indicating its potency, and detailed microscopy analyses revealed significant damage to the mycelium structure.
- The study concluded that citronellal works by disrupting chitin synthesis and damaging the cell wall of the pathogens, leading to effective protection against rice blast disease.
