Abstract: ACUNA, NHYLL ANGELO S. Antimicrobial Effects In Vivo of Selected Botanicals Against Disease-Causing Microorganisms in Dragon Fruit. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (Major in Crop Science). Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2016. Adviser: Adelaida E. Sangalang, PhD. In vivo assay of four (4) botanicals, namely: lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus), garlic (Allium sativum), mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), and parsley (Petroselinum crispum) against dragon fruit pathogens consisting of a bacterium Serratia marcescens and two (2) fungi namely: Colletolrichum gloeosporioides and Fusarium sp. was done to determine the best bactericidal, fimgicidal, and collectively antimicrobial botanical. Progression of disease severity was also monitored and described. Results revealed that all botanicals were effective in controlling the pathogens of dragon fruit. Parsley was the most effective in terms of bactericidal property. In terms of antifungal property, all botanicals were statistically similar in effectiveness. In terms of antimicrobial property, no significant differences were observed among botanicals. There was no progression of disease severity in all treatments, except the control that reached 100% severity six weeks after inoculation. Results proved that botanicals can control the disease caused by pathogens in dragon fruit in vivo.
