Anti-Fungal Properties of Ficus exasperata, Jathropha curcas and Mangifera indica on Fusarium oxysporium Causing Seed Rot and Seedling Blight in Soybean
Abstract:Soybean is affected by a wide range of diseases, many of which are seed-borne. In vitro and in vivo studies were conducted on the control of Fusarium oxysporium the causal pathogen of soybean seed rot using three plant leaf extracts. Laboratory experiments were conducted with aqueous extracts of air dried leaves of Ficus exasperata, Jatropha curcas, and Mangifera indica and a synthetic fungicide Mancozeb. Using the poisoned food technique, various concentrations (20, 40, and 60%) of the leaf extracts and Manco… Show more
