Table 3.

Compilation of the best results obtained by macroalgae extracts/dry powder against plants infected with phytopathogenic fungi using in field methodologies (summary of the information available in Scopus up until 25 February 2021). * Infection expressed in % of infection after application of the macroalgae extract. A: The antimicrobial activity can be due the presence of acrylic acid; B: Increase in effectiveness after a second application; C: Loss of effectiveness for long periods.
