Abstract

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of six medicinal plant extracts namely Azadiracta indica (Neem), Ocimum tenuiflorum (Tulshi), Cajanus cajan (Pigeon pea), Cynodon dactylon (Durba grass), Lawsonia inermis (Mehandi) and Cliotoria ternatea (Thunkuni) at different concentrations (10, 50, 100 and 200 mg/L) on the radial mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici. The experiment was conducted following Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five replications. Radial mycelial growth, inhibition percentages and colony characters were recorded. The radial mycelial growth was maximum (90mm) of Neem leaf extracts at 10 mg/L which was statistically similar with Tulshi at 10 mg/L and control treatment. Lowest radial mycelial growth was found in Pigeon pea (18.80 mm) leaf extracts at 200 mg/L. The highest radial mycelia growth inhibition (79.11%) was observed on Pigeon pea at 200 mg/L.
