Abstract:
Six different plants extracts viz., Neem, Tulsi, Aak, Eucalyptus, Onion and Garlic clove at different concentrations were studied by poisoned food technique against Fusarium wilt disease of brinjal to find out their efficacy. Neem leaf extract was found most effective in inhibiting the mycilial growth at 50% concentration of the causal fungus Fusarium oxysporium f. sp. melongenae. The Aak leaf extract was found second most effective in controlling fungus growth, whereas Tulsi was least effective. Neem leaf extract was observed most effective when used as seed soaking in reducing the incidence of the disease and the Aak leaf extracts was second most effective in controlling wilt in pot condition.
