Effects of <i>Moringa oleifera</i> Leaf Extracts on <i>Xanthomonas campestris</i> pv. <i>campestris</i>

<i>Xanthomonas campestris</i> pv. <i>campestris</i> (Xcc) is a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the Xanthomonodaceae family, causing black rot in crucifers. To control this pathogen, the study investigated the effect of different leaves extracts of <i>Moringa oleife...
