Results and discussion

Details on results:
All cresols (1.5% v/v) scored 3-4 on ratings of 0 = no injury within 14d to 5 = complete kill of plant (Lycopersicum esculentum) tumor tissue (caused by Agrobacterium tumefaciens). Other tests indicated that they are also effective against plant diseases caused by Pseudomonas savastanoi.
