Ethnopharmacological Study and Antifungal Activity of Three Plants (Asteraceae Family) From
Journal Title: ASIAN JOURNAL OF NATURAL & APPLIED SCIENCES - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Anvillea radiata, Asteriscus graveolens and Dittrichia viscosa are plants belonging to Asteraceae family; they are commonly used in traditional medicine in south west of Morocco, for the treatment of several diseases. The aim of this work was to find an alternative to chemical fungicides currently used in the control of pathogenic fungi. In this study, we screened three Moroccan medicinal and aromatic plants extracts for their anti-fungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis (Foa) (causing vascular wilt of date palm). The aqueous extract of A. radiata and dichloromethanic extract of D. viscosa have produced the greatest inhibitory effect on mycelial growth (more than 50%). The spore germination was strongly inhibited using aqueous and chloroformic extracts of A. radiata. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of A. radiata, D. viscosa and A. graveolens extracts could be considered as an antifungal available to develop novel types to control several plant pathogenic fungi.
