In this study, researchers from South Korea obtained extracts from various plant species and tested their efficacy in suppressing the fungus Colletotrichum coccodes, which causes anthracnose in Diospyros kaki (Japanese persimmon). Their findings were published in the journal Biological Agriculture & Horticulture.
Based on their findings, the researchers concluded that plant extracts combined with natural emulsifiers can be used to control anthracnose in organic production systems.
