The prevalence of plant diseases continues to increase constantly. Traditional methods to combat plant diseases are harmful pesticides, chemical fertilizers, antibiotics, etc. These traditional methods have a negative impact on the environment as well as on humans. Owing to this fact, this research focuses on using a novel biocontrol strategy that is green, eco-friendly, and positively impacts the environment. Bacteria communicate with each other, also known as Quorum sensing, and infect plants. Quorum quenching is a novel biological method that is used to manage plant disease. Citrus canker is a dangerous plant disease that causes plant deaths after the pathogen causes it. The only way to manage it is to obliterate all susceptible plants. The incidence rate of citrus canker is increasing globally as the disease can be caused over a short distance. The incidence rate of citrus canker in orchards is 36.2% and shows a severity of up to 18%. Natural compounds have been identified as quorum-sensing inhibitors and one such example is phytochemicals, which are secondary metabolites and can be used as biocontrol agents against phytopathogens. In this project, three different essential oils; cinnamon leaf oil, clove bud oil, and Citral were used. All the essential oils were tested against Xanthomonas campestris, a plant pathogen, majorly affecting citrus fruits. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was done to check the minimal concentration at which these oils kill the pathogen. The Quorum Quenching (QQ) property of the above-mentioned oils was done using Anti-swarming or anti-gliding assay. Essential oils are hydrophobic and are solubilized using Sophorolipids (SLS). Using Sophorolipids, formulations were prepared which showed a synergistic effect in killing the pathogens.
