Researchers discovered a compound called dihydroxy flavone from a fungus that can fight off a common tomato plant disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum, which leads to plant wilting. They found that this compound works best when the fungus is grown in a specific nutrient mixture and that it can stop the disease at a concentration of 80 µg/mL, promising for a natural fungicide.
