“…Then I sprayed the plants at the four-leaf stage on 3/20/2022 three times until they were completely wet, with an interval of 10 days between one spray and another, with the extracts, namely the aqueous extract of Cypreus Rotundusroots, at concentrations of 5 and 10 g L -1 . It has symbols T1 and T2, respectively, attended accordingly (12) and the aqueous extract of Silybum marianum leaves at concentrations of 5 and 10 g L -1 has symbols 3T and T4, respectively, in addition to the measurement treatment (spraying with distilled water only), which has symbols T0. Table 1 shows the chemical components of the extracts used in the research.…”

Improving mini tuber potato growth and yield by some plants aqueous extract and earth worm compost. Anbar Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 1 2 (2): 656-666.The research was conducted at Research Station B of the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences -University of Baghdad in the spring season 2022-2023 with the aim of studying the growth and yield of potato tubers when planted in earthworm fertilizer and spraying with plant extracts. It was implemented as a factorial experiment 3*5 within a completely randomized block design. RCBD with three replicates. The factors included cultivating the tubers under levels of earthworm fertilizer Vermicompost at concentrations of 0.5 and 1%, which are symbol V1 and V2, respectively, as well as the control treatment without the addition of V0. Then the plants were sprayed with the extracts, namely the aqueous extract of the roots of Cypreus Rotundus, at concentrations of 5 and 10 g L -1 . It has symbols T1 and T2, respectively, and the aqueous extract of Silybum marianum leaves at concentrations of 5 and 10 g L -1 has symbols T3 and T4, respectively. In addition to the Control treatment (spraying with distilled water only), which has symbol T0, the results showed a significant superiority for treating the planting with earthworm fertilizer and spraying with leaf extract. Silybum marianum (V2T4) in the percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the leaves, their Chlorophyll content, plant height,

“…The differences in the concentration of neem extracts and Mancozeb (positive control) were that the neem extract was in raw shape, while the synthetic fungicide was in pure shaped. Consequently, extracts of plants applied in maximum dosage to act proficiently (Chiejina and Onaebi, 2016). It is important to consider the diverse genetic makeup of fungi and choice a particular plant ingredients when making a bio-fungicide.…”

“…The bioactive compounds such as saponins, flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, terpenoids, phenols and alkaloids are the fungicides doctrine of plants. These are actually the self-protective system of the herbs against diverse pathogenic fungi (Chiejina and Onaebi 2016;Javid et al, 2015). The active ingredients occurred in the plants are affected by numerous factors, such as harvesting plant materials time, extraction methods, extracting solvents and age of plants (Chukwuma et al, 2018).…”

New antifungal agrochemicals compounds discovering from natural products are a vital goal for the management of plant pathogenic fungi. As present synthetic fungicide used for the treatment of plant pathogenic fungi have negative effects on environment and human health. Therefore, it is need of the day to develop and discover new antifungal substances from natural products. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the extracts of leaves, seeds and twigs of Azadirachta indica using infusion, decoction and microwave extraction techniques. These extracts were subjected to phytochemical quantification, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic analysis and antifungal assays against pathogenic fungi by well diffusion technique. The quantitative of phytochemicals screening showed that leaves had showed high concentrations of bioactive compounds, seeds showed a moderate and twigs observed the least phyto-compounds. The infusion extracts system showed high amount of active compounds, followed by microwave and decoction. Extracts of leaves and seeds showed evidence of inhibition growth of fungi. The spectra of FTIR verified the occurrence of different functional groups such as aromatic compounds, alkanes, alkyl halides, amines, carboxylic acids, phenols, alcohol and amino acids, in the neem extracts. Relevant stakeholders along with the help of policy makers and researchers should build extra understanding regarding the requirement to clinch products of organic fungicides like secure fungus management system.

“…Currently, the two preferred high quality mulches are Moringa oleifera and Chromolaena odorata [11,13]. These mulches, through decomposition, have caused the increase in the size and water stability of soil aggregates, reduction in the soil bulk density [14], improvement in the content of soil organic carbon and an increase in the availability of soil nutrients [15].…”

A field study was conducted at Atonsu, Sekyere Central District of the Ashanti region in Ghana from 2013 to 2014, to(i) determine the effects of ex-situ mulches of Moringa oleifera, Chromolaena odorata and Panicum maximum on yam tuber yield under three natural fallow aged systems and (ii) assess the changes in the physico-chemical properties of the soil with the application of the ex-situ mulches. The field experiment was laid out in a 3x3 factorial arrangement in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The first factor was ex-situ mulch types at three levels; Panicum maximum (farmers'choice), Chromolaena odorata and Moringa oleifera. The second factor was natural fallow aged systems at three levels; 3-year old, 5-year old and 7-year old. Data collected included changes in soil physico-chemical properties, residue decomposition and nutrient release patterns, yam growth parameters and total tuber yield of yam. After two years of mulch application and cropping, there were significant increases in soil pH, nitrogen, organic matter, calcium and E.C.E.C levels for all the three mulches in comparison to their initial contents. In spite of this, soils under Moringaoleifera mulch recorded significantly higher contents of total nitrogen and organic matter than under the Panicum maximum and Chromolaena odorata mulches Furthermore, M. oleifera produced significantly the highest tuber yields. In terms of yield sustainability over the two years cropping period, there was less yield decline arising from the application of the M. oleifera mulch (19.17%) than from C. odorata (31.53%) and P. maximum (48.20%) mulch applications. The study concluded that M. oleifera mulch was better able to improve and sustain soil fertility which subsequently resulted in higher yam tuber yields than the other mulches of C. odorata and P. maximum. Furthermore, yield reductions in yam was least under M. oleifera mulch and therefore could be considered as the best candidate to ensure sustainable yields of yam on the same piece of land for longer cropping periods.
