Popis:	An aqueous extract of the sisal agave, A. sisalana, was prepared from dried stem tissue by boiling in water. The sisal extract (SE) displayed a broad inhibition of the seed-borne mycoflora when applied to farmer-saved seeds of Sorghum bicolor. Species of Fusarium (belonging to the Gibberella fujikuroi complex) were inhibited >75 % on seeds. Accordingly, seed-borne crown rot, associated with Fusarium thapsinum was significantly (p
