Summary Anti-F. moniliforme activity of 3 non-toxic polyphenolic compounds, viz. mangiferin, 1,3,6,7-tetrahydroxyxanthone, and 2,2′,4-trihydroxybenzophenone, was evaluated. The mycotoxin-producing fungus incited ear-rot in sweet corn in fields and during storage. The test compounds provided different degrees of protection to sweet corn from the ingress of the fungus. Additionally, noteworthy postinfectional curative action was observed in the case of the trihydroxybenzophenone.
