Abstract
The present investigation was focused on the study of the chemical
composition variability and biological activities of the rhizome
extracts from Curcuma amada Roxb. The separation of the constituents was
carried out by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The C.
amada rhizome extract was characterized by a high content of sesquiterpenes
such as Curcumene (b,g). An antibacterial activity of rhizome extract from C.
amada was tested against Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzicola and Xanthomonas
campestris pv oryzae. We also examined the antifungal activities against Rhizoctonia
solani, and Magnaporthe oryzae. Further, we evaluated the pesticidal
efficacy of C. amada rhizome extract against Nilaparvata lugens.
All tested samples displayed noteworthy antibacterial antifungal properties,
with the highest activity observed on Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzicola and
Rhizoctonia solani. While, the pesticidal action was remarkably observed on
Nilaparvata lugens with 67.0% mortality after 72 h of exposure. In
conclusion, this study showed pronounced role of the C. amada rhizome
extract as antibacterial, antifungal and insecticidal activity.
