The antimicrobial activity of selected plant extracts, including Azadirachta indica, Ocimum sanctum, Calotropis procera, Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium, Ipomoea carnea, Datura stramonium, Zingiber officinale, Curcuma longa, Catharanthus roseus, Nicotiana tabacum, Annona squamosa, Aspergillus racemosus, Argemone mexicana, and Jatropha species, was evaluated in vitro against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, the causal agent of citrus canker disease. Among the tested plant extracts, Argemone mexicana exhibited the highest growth inhibition (2.6 cm), while Ipomoea carnea showed the lowest (0.9 cm). Additionally, the antimicrobial activity of selected antibiotics, including Tetracycline, Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, Levofloxacin, Ofloxacin, Terramycin, Cefixime, Penicillin, Azithromycin, and Cefadroxil, was tested in vitro against the same pathogen. Levofloxacin demonstrated the highest growth inhibition (3.0 cm), whereas Ampicillin and Penicillin exhibited the lowest inhibition (1.5 cm). These findings highlight the potential of plant extracts and antibiotics in managing citrus canker disease.
