Investigation on the potential of poplar bark from short-rotation coppices as bio-based fungicidal additives

Abstract Bark on trees protects the plant against environmentally adverse conditions as well fungi and insect attacks. There are different chemical substances, mostly in outer bark of trees, which can stop from developing. a by-product wood plantations is available high quantity serve an excellent source for production eco-fungicides. In presented article, various poplar clones two short-rotation coppices (SRC) Poland Germany was examined to determine composition, possible extraction potential fungicides (terpenes, aromatic phenolic substances), influence their extracts slowing growth mold fungi. It proved that content fungicidal substances depends strongly clone type. Two methods extraction—Soxhlet batch—were compared obtain extracts. Fungicidal were found gained with both approaches. Triterpenes, fatty acids, aldehydes, alcohols primarily active Soxhlet extracts, whereas act batch
