Salycylic acid, the acid of which the acetyl derivative is used widely as the most proved and tested analgesic and antipyretic, under the name ASPIRIN, was surprisingly found to be a potent agrochemical.
Salylic acid was tested as a non-conventional agrochemical on the fruit rot disease of Amla(Aonla/Indian Gooseberry) caused by penicillium citrinum under in vitro conditions. Salylic acid at 0.001M was found effective in reducing the fruit rot severity. this chemical showed no fungitoxicity at its concentration when tested by poisoned technique.
