Özet
Elexa is a plant booster that elicits specific defense responses in various plants against certain fungal and bacterial diseases. Rather than killing hostile fungi that attack plants, Elexa acts as a preventative and stimulative agent to protect plants from pathogens. Elexa contains 4% chitosan. In the present study, a 0.1% concentration of Elexa was used to evaluate the biological efficiency in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) and potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants, as foliar spray against fungal (Botrytis cinerea Pers., gray mold), (Pseudoperanospora cubensis (Berk & Curt) Rostow, downy mildew), (Phytophtora infestans (Mont) de Bary, late blight) and bacterial (Pseudomonas lachrymans (Smith & Ryan) Carsner, angular leaf spot) diseases in greenhouse conditions. Elexa was also used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of in vitro germination against B. cinerea Pets. and P. lachrymans (Smith & Ryan) Carsner. Our results demonstrated that Elexa is a good plant booster for disease management and defense elicitation in commercial formulations. Elexa also exhibited inhibitory effects in in vitro germination of B. cinerea Pers. and P. lachrymans (Smith & Ryan) Carsner. It was observed that chitosan as well as elicitors, such as Elexa, produced with its chitosan content, provide 60% of protection against the damage caused by late blight, gray mold, downy mildew in potato and tomato plants, as well as angular leaf spot in cucumber, respectively.
