Antifungal efficacy of some ethyl acetate extract fractions ofCyperus rotundusrhizomes against spore germination of some fungi

Antifungal Evaluation and Phytochemical Identification of Selected Botanicals against Ceratocystis manginecans Causing Mango Sudden Death

“…The sporulation rate decreases with an increase in concentration of botanical treatments. This result is supported by the findings of Elisabeth Bach et al [29]; and sing et al [30] who studied some different microbes with different botanical extracts and reported variations in conidiophores and conidial characteristics due to botanical extract treatments. Kessler et al [31]; Omidbeygi et al [32] described that secondary metabolites present in botanicals can pass through cell membranes and interact with critical sites (intracellular enzymes and proteins), resulting in structural and functional variations of fungal pathogen.…”

Antifungal Activity of Crude Extracts of Ageratum conyzoides, Cyperus rotundus, and Amaranthus spinosus Against Rust Disease

“…For instance, mycelial growth of Macrophomina phaseolina, Fusarium equiseti, Botryodiplodia theobromae, Colletotrichum corchori, Alternaria alternate, and Curvularia lunata can be 100 % inhibited by ethanolic rhizome extract of Acorus calamus at concentration of 1 mg mL -1 (Begum, Yusuf, Chowdhury, Khan, & Anwar, 2007). Chemical compounds extracted from Ageratum conyzoides L., Amaranthus spinosus L., and Cyperus rotundus L. have been utilized to suppress the growth of some pathogens both bacteria and fungi (Bisht, Bisht, Singh, Gupta, & Singh, 2011;Dayie, Newman, Ayitey-Smith, & Tayman, 2007;Kamboj & Saluja, 2008;Kong et al, 2004;Maiyo, Ngure, Matasyoh, & Chepkorir, 2010;Mushatq et al, 2012;Singh, Maurya, Singh, & Singh, 2011). In nature, these three plant species grow rapidly and are known as weeds due to their invasive growth.…”

Actividad antifúngica in vitro de Ricinus communis y Cyperus rotundus sobre cepas de Colletotrichum gloeosporioides

“…Consequently, there is a growing interest in exploring effective and environmentally friendly alternatives, such as the utilization of plant extract and rhizosphere bacteria (Botanelli et al 2019, Banaras et al 2021, Sharf et al 2021. In this context, the plant extracts from the noxious weeds coco-grass (Cyperus rotundus L.) and castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) inhibit the growth of fungi belonging to the genera Fusarium, Alternaria, Curvularia, and Colletotrichum (Hernández-Albíter et al 2007, Singh et al 2011, Luque et al 2014, Mudiyanselage et al 2019. As a result, these weed plants emerge valuable alternatives to chemical fungicides or even commercial bacterial-based products, given that plant extracts often exhibit a broad spectrum of antifungal activity due to their diverse array of phytochemicals, reducing the likelihood of fungal resistance (Ashwini and Srividya 2014, Kim et al 2014, Ruiz-Sánchez et al 2014, Landero-Valenzuela et al 2016, Rashmi et al 2019, Banaras et al 2020.…”
