Abstract:
Aqueous extracts of 5 plants selected from local flora were evaluated for antifungal potential against
Alternaria solani by Poisoned Food Technique at 10% concentrations. In the experiment of
In vitro efficacy of plant extracts against
Alternaria solani by crude extraction method, the maximum inhibition was obtained by
Azadirachta indica (60.49%),
Zingiber officinale (54.73%) and
Ocimum sanctum (53.09%) @10% concentration over all other plant extracts. In the experiment of
In vitro efficacy of plant extracts against
Alternaria solani by acetone extraction method, the maximum exhibition was obtained by
Azadirachta indica (64.24%),
Ocimum sanctum (58.62%) and
Zingiber officinale (57.32%)@10% concentration over all other plant extracts. Out of these two methods, there was slight increase in inhibiting the mycelial growth of the pathogen
Alternaria solani in acetone extract as compared to crude extract and therefore acetone extract is better than crude extract.
