The worldwide demand for making agriculture greener, safer, and more efficient can be met aptly by the application of biopesticides.Vanillic acid is a naturally occurring versatile phenolic molecule with promising antifungal activity, however, there have been no studies of the possible use of vanillic acid for its antifungal activity airpods pro houston against a serious soil-borne fungal plant pathogen namely Sclerotium rolfsii.This study was performed to assess the antifungal potential of vanillic acid by analyzing growth, morphological, and biochemical changes in S.rolfsii under laboratory conditions.

The results revealed that vanillic acid (0.003-0.10 %) significantly reduced fungal growth, distorted fungal morphology (hyphae, and sclerotia), altered activity of enzymes (catalase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase).However, 0.

05 and 0.10 % concentrations caused complete inhibition in the fungal growth.The results explained in this work serve as a basis for further research to formulate fungicides rohrventilator industrie using vanillic acid.
