Abstract
The antimycotic efficacy of Solanum nigrum L., Euphorbia helioscopia L., Fragaria ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier, Salix alba L. and Datura stromonium L. were screened against the Aspergillus niger Van Tieghem, Fusarium solani (Mart) Sacc., Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissl. and Trichothecium roseum (Pers.) Link that cause rot nut diseases which degrades the quality and yield of nuts after harvest. It was observed from the results that higher concentrations of plant extracts caused significant inhibition in fungal pathogen mycelial growth. However, maximum inhibition was caused by the higher concentrations than lower concentrations. Plant extracts of Euphorbia helioscopia at higher concentrations caused more inhibition in the growth of nut rot pathogenic fungi followed by other plant extracts. The extracts from plants have been found to be antifungal in nature, thus gained popularity for developing eco-friendly integrated pest management.
