Efficacy of a <i>Juncus effusus</i> extract on grapevine and apple plants against <i>Plasmopara viticola</i> and <i>Venturia inaequalis</i>, and identification of the major active constituent

Abstract

Our results demonstrate that plants can provide promising alternatives for integrated and organic farming. J. effusus shows high efficacy at low concentrations and, as an abundant perennial species, is an interesting candidate for the development of a novel plant protection product. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry.
