Greenhouse and field experiments revealed that clove oil can effectively reduce bacterial blight and increase yield in pomegranate
Abstract Bacterial blight in pomegranate is a devastating disease caused by bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae (XAP), recording huge damage to pomegranate crop worldwide. Antibiotics and copper‐based chemicals are being used for the management of this blight, while in this present...

Antibiotics and copper‐based chemicals are being used for the management of this blight, while in this present work, we investigated the effect of eugenol and clove oil either singly or in combination with copper oxychloride (COC) on the induction of plant defense responses and concomitant prevention of bacterial blight.

Strikingly under the greenhouse condition, clove oil (0.2%) as foliar application 24 h before XAP inoculation recorded the lowest disease severity of 7.34%, whereas eugenol (0.2%) recorded maximum disease severity of 14.56%. However, the combination of clove oil (0.2%) and copper oxychloride (0.3%) recorded the least disease severity of 2.38%. A similar trend was observed in field conditions. Prophylactic application of clove oil leads to enhanced nitrate reductase activity and nitric oxide production which was further enhanced in clove oil pre‐treated plants challenged with XAP. Strikingly, the total ROS and H2O2 levels were reduced in response to clove oil application. Clove oil also induced the systemic response by inducing expression levels of defense genes. The reduction of disease severity by clove oil and COC combination also reflected on total yield recording via large‐scale field experiments where maximum yield of 14.04 tonnes/acre was observed, whereas streptocycline application recorded 11.12 tonnes/acre. Application of COC and clove oil resulted in a high remunerative value of ₹ 1:5.6, compared to streptocycline (1:4.85) and control (1:1.85).
