Arsenicum album 199c and Kali iodide 200c reduced fruit rot of guava and mango. Cina 1000c, applied by foliar spray, reduced root-knot disease, caused by nematode parasites, of cowpea plants. The drugs augmented the natural defense response in plants and thus reduced the parasite infection.

Until recently, a few inducers of ROS emission were recognized as true elicitors of defense responses in marine plant-microbe interactions, and these have already been discussed in previous reviews (Potin et al. 1999, 2002 Pohnert 2004 Dring 2006). This list has slightly increased recently (Table 12.1).
