Abstract
Mycelial growth and conidial germination of Cryphonectria cubensis (Bruner) Hodges were inhibited by phenolic compounds of Eucalyptus spp. Inhibitory activity of caffeic, p-coumaric, ferulic, gallic, protocatechuic, gentistic, and benzoic acids varied with the concentration, presence, and numbers of -OH and -OCH3 substituents attached to the aromatic ring of these substances. The possible role of these compounds in the resistance of eucalypts against C. cubensis is discussed.
