Abstract
The antifungal activity of three flavones and one flavanone and of dif ferent mixtures of these flavonoids was investigated on malt extract a gar against four fungi usually occurring on grain. As pure substances the unsubstituted flavone and flavanone showed higher activity than th e hydroxylated flavones. Mixtures containing flavone and 7-hydroxyflav on or flavone, flavanone and flavonol caused higher inhibition of fung al growth than the remaining ones.
