The present invention relates to the use of microbes of the genera Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus and the refined or raw metabolites of same from culture media for use as a fungicide for agricultural, horticultural, veterinary or human use. The present invention further relates to the use of dihydroxyalkyl-substituted stilbene derivatives of the formula: 3,5-dihydroxy-4-R-trans-stilbene; where R is an alkyl group of carbon length 1 to 6 with either a straight chain or branched configuration, such as 3,5-dihydroxy-4-isopropyl-trans-stilbene or 3,5-dihydroxy-4-ethyl-trans-stilbene, as fungicides which have protectant, preventative and eradicant capabilities. The invention also relates to the use of 3-substituted indole derivatives of the formulas: 3-(2'-acetoxy-4'-methyl-3'-oxohexyl)-indole, 3-(2'-acetoxy-4'-methyl-3'-oxopentyl)-indole, 3-(2'-hydroxy-4'-methyl-3'-oxohexyl)-indole, and 3-(2'-hydroxy-4-methyl-3'-oxopentyl)-indole and their stereoisomer as fungicides which have protectant, preventative and eradicant capabilities. |
