Abstract
Background:Fusariumconcentricum is one of the most devastating fungi responsible for fruit and vegetable crops rot worldwide. The present study was designed to find an ecofriendly control measure for pathogenic Fusariumconcentricum, using suitable bioagents. Methods: Medicinal plant extracts were evaluated or their antifungal activities against Fusariumconcentricum using the poisoned food and serial dilution methods. Antagonistic potency of some nonpathogenic microbes was also assessed on Fusariumconcentricum using the dual culture method. Results: Highest inhibitionofgrowth of Fusarium concentricum wasobservedwith 68.1% (0.389 mg per 90 mm Petri plate) of mycelia on Coccinia grandis plant leaf extract, in comparison to the control grown with 100.0% (1.22 mg/dish). The tested plants extract showed MIC values rages of 80-150 µg/ml on the isolated fungus. The highest inhibition of radial growth was observed using Trichoderma viride on Fusariumconcentricum (46.01% inhibition). Conclusions: The findings of present study would be benevolent for antifungal drug development to control Fusariumconcentricum causing fruit and vegetable rot.
