IN VITRO SCREENING OF NATURAL PRODUCTS ON FUSARIUM OXYSPORUM FROM ROTS IN GINGER
Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Inhibitory potential of natural products on pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum isolated from rhizome rots in ginger prevalent in Shimoga district, Karnataka, India was carried out in the present work. Crude and concentrated cow urine, aqueous extracts of leaf and flowers of Parthenium hysterophorus and petroleum ether extract of latex of Calotropis procera were tested by Poison food technique. Antifungal potential was assessed by measuring the mycelial diameter in test and control plates. Concentrated cow urine and aqueous extracts of leaves of Parthenium hysterophorus were best in inhibiting, with mycelial diameters ranging between 15-32 mm when compared to control plates (20-35 mm). Latex extract was moderate in inhibition while flower extract of Parthenium hysterophorus was least effective.
