Subhashini, D.V.
Plant extracts viz., Allium cepa, Allium sativum, Aloe vera, Azadirachta indica, Curcuma longa, Ocimum sanctum, Zingiber officinales were tested for suppression of damping-off (Pythium aphanidermatum), collar rot (Sclerotium rolfsii) and wilt (Fusarium oxysporum) showed significant reduction in growth of the pathogen. Maximum inhibition was recorded with 30% acetone extracts of Aloe vera (78.4%) in case of P. aphanidermatum and 80.7% with F. oxysporum followed by Allium sativum which recorded 75.7% and 78.5% in case of P. aphanidermatum and F. oxysporum, respectively. In case of Sclerotium rolfsii, maximum inhibition was recorded with 30% acetone extract of Azadirachta indica (76.0%) followed by Aloe vera (73.5%).
