| Abstract: | The chemical control agent 3-(3-indolyl)butanoic acid, previously reported as a control agent for the bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum, was shown to suppress the growth of green algae during hydroponic culture of tomato. The algicidal activity of the compound was effective at 10 μg/ml, completely preventing generation of green algae under non-shaded greenhouse conditions. The algicidal effect was mainly due to suppression of the growth of motile unicellular algal cells tentatively identified as Chlamydomonas spp., which are commonly occurring in the hydroponic solution and vigorously multiply to form an algal mat on the sponge supports. The compound has potential as a non-phytotoxic algicide for hydroponically cultured crop plants. |
