Efficacy of Fungal Versus Bacterial Bioagents on Fusarium Wilt of Castor

Botanical Based Protection could be a Sustainable Alternative in Management of Castor (Ricinus communis) Wilt Caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ricini

“…Hence, in recent years there has been increased awareness on toxic hazards of chemicals to crops, consumer and environment due to residual phytotoxicity and pollution effect. Developing eco-friendly and economical based protection to control plant diseases could be another best source (Yerukala et al, 2017;Yerukala et al, 2018). Include screening of plant products for their effective antifungal activity against the plant pathogens, could be another alternative to minimize the fungicide usage.…”
