Abstract:The antifungal activities of cantharidin and demethylcantharidin against Valsa mali and other 6 plant pathogens were studied. The results showed that cantharidin had affected to all tested plant pathogens. Among of them EC50 to Valsa mali was 0.1mg/L and EC50 to Physalospora piricola was 8.2mg/L. The inhibition of demethylcantharidin had affected 4 of the plant pathogens obviously. Among of them EC50 of demethylcantharidin to Valsa mali was 13.6mg/L and to Physalospora piricola was 80.2mg/L. Overstriking mycelia, malformed cell membrane, increased a number of mycelium cell cavums, electron-dense materials and vesicles etc. were observed in Valsa mali and Physalospora piricola under the scanning and transmission electron micrographs after 5d treatment by the two test chemicals.
