Antifungal activity of Leaf extract on Growth of Macrophomina phaseolina on Soyabean seed

Jaya Gujar and Dhananjay Talwankar

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Effect of leaf extract of some medicinal plant on the survival of Macrohomina phaseolina was studied. Improper storage of the oilseed like Soybean makes it vulnerable to storage fungi. They bring the variety of biochemical changes in the suitable conditions. Considering this fact, experiment were undertaken to understand nutritional changes like change in reducing sugar due to Macrohomina phaseolina. Five different plant used in Indian medicine were examined against Macrohomina phaseolina. The water and alcoholic extract of Azadirachta indica, Ocimum sanctum, Ocimum basilicum, Lantana camara and Aloe vera exhibited varying degrees of inhibition against the fungi. The alcoholic Neem powder extract shows most effective in decreasing the survivability of test pathogen. While Aloe vera and Ocimum sanctum extract shows adequate inhibition
