Evaluation of Plant Extracts as Antifungal Agents Against Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc
نویسنده
چکیده
Experiments were carried out to test the aqueous extracts of twenty plants for their antifungal activity against Fusarium solani the causal of dry rot disease of potato. The obtained results showed a differential activity of the plant extracts against the mycelium growth. The combined leaf extracts of Lawsonia alba and stem extracts of Acacia catechu in general showed a strong enhancement in activities over the individual extract of each against the mycelium growth. The seed extracts of Dedonia viscosa also showed strong inhibitory effect against the test fungi. The petal extracts of Mimosa hamata, leaf extracts of Acacia arabicae, Jacranda mimosaefolia and Ocimum sanctum showed appreciable good inhibitory effect against the test fungi.
