The antimicrobial activities of 7 flavones and 6 flavanones were tested against Xanthomonas malvacearum from cotton, X. citri from citrus, Curvularia lunata [Cochliobolus lunatus] from cotton and Helminthosporium turcicum [Setosphaeria turcica] from sorghum. Spore germination of C. lunatus was partly or completely inhibited by all compounds tested and that of S. turcica was completely inhibited by 1 each of the flavones and flavanones. In general flavones were more effective than flavanones against fungi and bacteria. Some of the flavones were more inhibitory to bacteria than was agrimycin-100.
