Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper represents the antifungal property of the crude rhizomatous extract of Curcuma caesia Roxb. and leaf extract of Ixora coccinea L. against Botrytis cinerea. First, the crude extract from two different plants were taken separately for antifungal screening and then both the extract used simultaneously to evaluate the better efficiency of the herbal formulation. The extract mixture shows higher efficiency in respect to antifungal potentiality than either of the plant when used solely. After that, I performed sequential solvent partitioning of the extract mixture to locate which fraction actually carries the antifungal one. Diethyl ether fraction was found to contain some bioactive phytochemical(s) that can be of ecofriendly use to control the spreading of this plant pathogen.
