Two novel plant derived compounds, the lipid Sesamol and a phytoalexin analogue were evaluated as natural pesticides for controlling several plant diseases. These compounds were evaluated as both foliar applied and seed treatments over several years. Effects on plant stand, especially during the early growing season, were seen. The effects on final stand and grain yield will also be discussed.
