Propolis is a resinous hive product collected from plant
buds by bees. Bee products such as honey, pollen and propolis are used for the
treatment of several diseases. Propolis extracted at the concentrations of
1000, 2000 and 3000 ppm at hot water and investigated for inhibition of
Alternaría solani, Aspergillus niger,, Botrytis cinérea, Fusaríum oxysporum
f.sp. lycopersici, Verticillium albo-atrum, Rhizoctonia solani and Pénicillium
digitatum in culture media. The concentration of 3000 ppm was the most
inhibitory concentration studied. The most affected microorganisms from all the
concentrations among tested fungi were Rhizoctonia solani, Alternaría solani
and Penicillium digitatum. The concentration of 3000 ppm of propolis extract
inhibited the growth of three fungi; Alternaría solani, Rhizoctonia solani and
Penicillium digitatum.
Currently, some experiments are carried out under the field
conditions for addressing the effect of propolis against some plant diseases of
some economic crops like tomato and squash.
