Abstract

Fungi toxic effects of five medicinal plants namely, Azadirachta indica, Ocimum basilicum,Datura stramonium, Tagetes erecta and Allium sativum were tested at 2, 4, 6 and 8% concentration against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. gladioli in vitro. Out of five medicinal plants, extract of A. indica showed maximum mycelial growth inhibition both at 8% concentration (83.5) and 2% concentration (34.5%) followed by T. erecta, A. sativum andD. stramonium that suppressed the mycelial growth at 8% concentration viz. 58.5, 35and 28.5% respectively. O. basilicum was the least effective in suppressing the mycelial growth of F. oxysporum. Key words: Fungitoxic, corm rot, medicinal plants.
