Chitosan as a potential natural compound to control pre and postharvest diseases of horticultural commodities (2006, background): “In other studies, pearl millet seeds treated with commercial chitosan (Elexa) at different concentrations (1:5, 1:10, 1:15, 1:19 and 1:25) were effective in reducing downy mildew disease caused by Sclerospora graminicola under greenhouse and field conditions (Sharathchandra et al., 2004).”
Practical application of induced resistance to plant diseases: an appraisal of effectiveness under field conditions (2009, unknown): “For example, when used as a seed treatment, it reduced downy mildew severity on pearl millet by 58% and when used as a foliar spray, it reduced infection by 75% (Sharathchandra et al. 2004).”
The effect of size and acetylation degree of chitosan derivatives on tobacco plant protection against Phytophthora parasitica nicotianae (2007, unknown): “As a matter of fact, reports concerning crop protection against pathogens with chitosan, where the protection is only the result of the induction of local or systemic resistance in the plant, are few or very recent (Benhamou et al.1994; Molloy et al.2004; Sharathchandra et al.2004 ).”
