ABSTRACT
In the current study the antifungal activity of inorganic reagents was tested against
Cryphonectria parasitica in vitro in a mycelial growth inhibition test. Three reagents, each
consisting of chloride silver (AgCl) in combination with (1) aluminum oxide − Al2O3, (2)
zinc oxide − ZnO, and (3) Al2O3 and titanium dioxide – TiO2, were tested. Significant differences
of the tested reagents on the growth of C. parasitica were recorded. The study
demonstrated that silver in mixture with ZnO had an antifungal effect and significantly
reduced the mycelial growth of C. parasitica in vitro. The mixture of AgCl with the other
two combinations of inorganic metal oxides had no inhibition effect on the growth of the
pathogen. It was confirmed that ZnO (applied in a single compound test) is responsible for
inhibition of C. parasitica mycelium growth. A preliminary in planta assay was performed
but statistically significant differences were not recorded in the average increment of canker
length.
