The antifungal potentialities of three ayurvedic formulations viz., Bacteridote, fungidote, viridote were evaluated in vitro against Rhizoctonia solani causing sheath blight of rice. The current study of antifungal activity was assessed by food poison technique. Different concentrations of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4% were evaluated by food poison technique. The results revealed that fungidote showed highest mycelial inhibition followed by viridote and bacteriodote. Fungidote and viridote showed cent per cent inhibition at 0.2 and 0.3% concentrations respectively. All ayurvedic formulations considerably inhibited the growth of Rhizoctonia solani pathogen. The outcomes direct that the extent of inhibition by all three ayurvedic formulations provides use of excellent potential antagonists capable of reducing the growth of R. solani on sheath blight of rice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
