Effect of Aqueous Leaf Extracts of Datura Sp. against Two Plant Pathogenic Fungi
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aqueous leaf extract of four different species of Datura viz. D.stramonium L., D. innoxia Mill.Gard, D. metal L. and D. ferox L. Amoen were tested for their antifungal activity against phytopathogenic molds in terms of mycelial growth of Alternaria solani and Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. udum causing early blight of tomato and wilt of pigeonpea respectively. The extract of Datura sp. at 5, 10, 15 and 20% concentrations were incorporated in glucose nitrate medium. The leaf extract of D. stramonium and D. innoxia at 20% concentration was found more inhibitory activity against F. oxysporum udum, while the extract of D. stramonium at 20% concentration was inhibitorier against A. solani.
