Abstract
Down Regulation of Plant Pathogenic Fungus Fusarium Oxysporum by Tree Extracts
Highlights
Fusarium is an important plant pathogen causing serious vascular wilt and root rot diseases of several economically important plants like Gamhar (Gmelina arborea) and Sissoo (Dalbergia sissoo) [1]
It is already reported that fresh extracts of some forest plants e.g. Neem, Karanj, Palas, Arjun are used by different tribal group for treating their different skin diseases, most of which are caused by human pathogenic fungi [3]. This finding generated the background of this idea that these plant products might have probable antifungal effects on plant pathogenic fungus too; freshly made plant extracts were applied in vitro against Fusarium oxysporum
Fusarium oxysporum species is a vascular wilt pathogen; these are distinguished by host specificity and designated as form an especial is in a trinomial nomenclature
