Comparative study on the extracts of Bryum argenteum and synthetic fungicide against some common diseases of Zea mays
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antifungal activity of extracts of Bryum argenteum against the phytopathogenic fungus Curvularia lunata, the causual organism of maydis leaf blight disease in Zea mays using pour plate method. Antifungal activities of plant extract was compared with commercially available fungicides. The minimum inhibitory concentration and per cent inhibition was determined. A phytochemical screening of the extracts was also carried out to determine the antifungal substances. It was observed that the ethanolic extract of plant had a broad spectrum antifungal activity against the test fungi.
