Journal Title: Journal of Plant Science and Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The sample of fruits of Carica papaya L. and Vitis vinifera L. were collected from fruit vendors, fruit shops and mandies of Gorakhpur and bought to the laboratory in pre sterilized polythene bags. A total of 36 fungi associated with the fruits were isolated by standard method. Dynamics of rotting, test for pathogenicity, weight loss and per cent loss of protein, carbohydrate and phosphorus were observed. Dynamics of rotting were highest for Corticum rolfsii Sacc; Lasiodiplodia theobromae Pat; Pestalotia bicolor Ell and Ev; Pestalotia foedans Saccardo and Ellis and Trichothecium roseum Pers. Link. Ex: which also caused highest loss of weight, loss of protein, carbohydrate and phosphorus contents of all the fruits? Extract of 47 angiospermic plants were tested for their efficacy against Corticum rolfsii, Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Pestalotia bicolor, Pestalotia foedans and Trichothecium roseum by inverted plate method. Erythrina indica L., Foeniculum vulgare Mill and Spillanthus acmella exhibited 100 per cent efficacy. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) was 5000 ppm.
