Investigation of the antibacterial properties of Moringa oleifera Extracts against Xanthomonas axonopoidespv. glycines the incitant of Bacterial Pustules of Glycine max

Bacterial pustule disease triggered by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines (Xag) is one of the major constraints affecting the cultivation of soybean in India. According to the recent reports, the disease severity was prevalent in moderate to severe intensities and damaged soybean crop and its yield. The current investigation examined the in vitro and in vivo preventive efficacies of Moringa oleifera lam. different extracts on bacterial pustules disease of soybean. The number of leaves per plant, Plant, soluble protein, carbohydrate and chlorophyll content were examined. A significant control of disease was recorded with seed extract (SE4). Results showed the treatment with seed extract notably increased plant height, carbohydrate, chlorophyll, carotenoids. However, soluble protein and carbohydrate content was observed to be less in higher concentrations along with reference antibacterial agent streptomycin. According to this current research seed extracts with 250µg/500 µl could be essential towards sustainable agricultural crop management for soybean. Therefore, compounds of seed can be evaluated and commercially explored for agricultural use.
