Effect of propolis on damping- off disease of cucumber in protected cultivation [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

Different concentrations of the proplis ethanol extract (PEE) reduced the radial growth of Fusarium solani, Pythium ultimum and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and the higher concentration (5000 ppm) was more effective against all the tested fungi. Seedling treatment with the highest concentrations 5 and 4 gil gave the maximum protection and reduced the disease incidence followed by other the treatments. This treatment\t improved plal1t height, increased the percentage of flowering, fruit setti1)9 and the fruit yield was also increased. The highest cOl1centration (5g/I), was nearly as effective as the fungicide Topspin M 70 . The seed treatment with the proplis extract PEE was less effective than seedling treatment in both examined seasons.
