In vitro inhibitory effect of herbal organic formulations on mycelial growth of Pea wilt pathogen Fusarium oxysporum

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine inhibitory activities of three herbal organic formulations (fungidote, viridote, and bacteridote) on in vitro growth of Fusarium oxysporum causing Fusarium wilt of a pea in Manipur. In vitro results showed that these formulations inhibited the mycelial growth of F. oxysporum in a dose-dependent manner. Fungidote was found to be the most in reducing mycelial growth compared to the other two formulations at different concentrations. These results underpin that formulations could be used in eco-friendly disease management of Fusarium wilt of a pea.
