Abstract
In Portugal the production of green and yellow kiwifruits is ca. 25.000 tones, representingan important source of income; however, these species are susceptible to Pseudomonassyringae pv. actinidiae (PSA), a gram-negative bacteria responsible for the kiwifruit bacterialcanker. PSA was identified in Portugal in 2011, leading to production losses of up to 80 % inseveral orchards.As current control techniques are expensive and consist in the application of copper- andantibiotics-based compounds, with serious risks of environmental contamination anddevelopment of resistant bacteria, the aim of this work was to evaluate the antimicrobialpotential of natural origin compounds against PSA.
