Abstract

The effects of oxygenated fatty acids were recorded as ED50 values for inhibition of germination and germ tube elongation of the spores of rice blast fungus. The oxygenated fatty acids were potent inhibitors between 20–40 ppm. When Sasanishiki rice plants were treated with the major components, epoxy-fatty acids, the rate of susceptible lesions formed on the leaves were lower than those of non-treated control, indicating induction of ...
