In vitro and In vivo Control of Fungal Cobweb Disease of Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq), Using Organic Materials

Aim: Assessment of In vitro and vivo Control Fungal Cobweb Disease Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq), using organic materials.
 Study Design: This study was designed to control the disease by plant materials as agent; both in vivo.
 Methodology: ostreatus. test; food poison method used while test undertaken inoculation fully colonized substrate bags infected with cobweb crude extracts Piper guineense lime juice treatment stock.
 Results: The results indicated P. inhibition growth pathogen at 22mm did not show any impact on pathogen. Additionally, inhibited but substrates invivo; such that treated samples grew developed fruiting bodies mushroom, 3 days after treatment; whereas one disease.
 Conclusion: showed effectiveness extract possibly due bioactive chemicals phenols, tannins, flavonoid etc which concentration material occurred surplus. These may have interfered molecular targets caused it loose cellular integrity leakage cell content. Alternatively, revealed ineffective; because solvent for it's preparation could enhance release essential anti fungals. Consequently, this recommends use mushroom farmers against fungal oyster mushrooms.
