Study of Antifungal Efficiency of Curcuma zedoaria (christm.) Roscoe against Fusarium oxysporum F. Sp. Udum

Abstract

Nowadays wilt is a common disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum F. sp. Udum which causes great economic lose. Green plants are used as natural sources of treatment for several plant diseases, because they exhibit antimicrobial properties. They are also proved eco-friendly. In the present study fifteen plant extracts were tested for their antifungal potential against wilt causing fungus Fusarium oxysporum. The extract of Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe shows maximum inhibition.
