The leaf extract of Solanum torvum was evaluated for its fungitoxic activity against Fusarium sacchari. The leaf extract was found to inhibit completely the mycelial growth of the test fungus at minimum 0.5 mL/mL dose by the poisoned food technique. The nature of the extract was fungicidal at 0.5 mL/mL dose, since no further revival of growth was observed in inoculated plates even after incubation for 6 days after inoculation. The extract required minimally 5 min to kill the test fungus at its MIC. The extract also inhibited the growth of 12 other pathogenic fungi as well as 2 pathogenic strains of bacteria under test. It was found to be non-phytotoxic in nature and to show antifungal activity under in vivo conditions.
