“…Corroborating our study, few workers have reported the fungicidal activity of botanicals against chickpea wilt. Seed treatment with garlic leaf extract (Singh et al, 1979) and neem oil (Singh et al, 1980) are reported to reduce the pathogen. The antifungal effect of aqueous extracts of four plant species viz; Azadirachta indica A.…”

The three agro-climatic zones of Jammu were surveyed and potential pesticidal plants / plant materials were collected. Their methanolic extracts were prepared following the standard procedure of refluxing, distillation and fractionation. They were assessed for antifungal activity against chickpea wilt, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri by poisoned food technique. Among the 64 plant parts assessed, Arisaema flavum root / tuber extract (4.0 mm) recorded lowest radial growth, followed by Boerrhavia diffusa root extracts (6.0 mm) and Arisaema flavum stem + leaves extract (8.0 mm). Accordingly, Arisaema flavum roots / tubers extract also exhibited 95.55% and its leaves recorded 91.00% inhibition. Boerrhavia diffusa stem and root extracts again exhibited 94.5 per cent inhibition, while Achyranthes aspera root exhibited 91.11% inhibition. These extracts / fractions have great potential to be developed as botanical pesticide that can greatly benefit human beings in multifarious ways.
