Antibacterial agents to control of pathogenic <scp> <i>Xanthomonas arboricola</i> </scp> pv. <scp> <i>juglandis</i> </scp> on walnut fruits and plants by polygodial derivatives formulations
Polygodial and epi-polygodial are potent antibacterial agents against Xaj, making them excellent candidates for new biopesticides. This study successfully formulated these drimanic compounds into stable nanoemulsions that effectively control walnut bacterial blight without causing phytotoxicity. The development of these nanoformulations represents a significant advancement towards sustainable and effective disease management in the walnut industry, offering a viable alternative to conventional copper-based bactericides. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
