Potential fungicides and plant extracts against fusarial wilt of brinjal

Abstract

Antifungal potentials of nine fungicides and eight plant parts extracts were
tested in opposition to Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. and F. solani (Mart.) Sacc. –
the two pathogens, isolated from wilted roots of brinjal plants. Efficiency
gradients observed in the present study expressed that Bavistin and Tall were the
best inhibiting agent against the in vitro growth of the test pathogenic fungi.
Among aqueous extracts of eight plant parts significant inhibition of the growth
of the pathogens was observed with Azadiracta indica (leaf), Zingiber officinale
(rhizome) and Asparagus racemosus (root) at 20% concentration.
