This study investigated the in vitro efficacy of various management strategies against Alternaria brassicicola infecting cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata). Aqueous extracts from Barleria prionitis L. and Solanum virginianum L. leaves exhibited concentration-dependent antifungal activity, with Barleria prionitis extract demonstrating the highest inhibition (80.75%) at 6% concentration. GC-MS analysis of the Barleria prionitis extract identified β-sitosterol, oleanolic acid, lupeol, and barlerin, all of which have documented antifungal properties. Similarly, Solanum virginianum extract displayed significant inhibition (82.44%) at 8% concentration, with phytol and solanidine identified as potential antifungal constituents. Commercially available fungicides (Bavistin, Mancozeb, Carbendazim and Captan) also inhibited A. brassicicola growth, with Bavistin exhibiting the strongest activity (100% inhibition at all tested concentrations). Trichoderma viride displayed superior antagonistic potential (83.09% inhibition) compared to Trichoderma harzianum (64.31%) against the pathogen. The findings suggest the potential of botanical extracts and biocontrol agents as eco-friendly alternatives for managing Alternaria brassicicola in cabbage cultivation. Further research is needed to explore the fungicidal mechanisms of identified bioactive compounds and optimize their application strategies for field efficacy.
