TY - JOUR AU - Kumar, Shailendra AU - Prasad , S. M. AU - Kehri, H. K. PY - 2025/05/06 Y2 - 2025/09/23 TI - Inhibitory effects of phytoextracts on mycelial growth and conidial germination of the Alternaria brassicae I-6A1y21 isolate causing leaf spot disease in mustard JF - Current Botany JA - CB VL - 16 IS - SE - Regular Articles DO - 10.25081/cb.2025.v16.9332 UR - https://www.updatepublishing.com/journal/index.php/cb/article/view/9332 SP - 148-152 AB - <p>The study of inhibitory effects of 13 plant extracts such as Lemon, Curry-leaf, Neem, <em>Duranta</em>, Ginger, Garlic, <em>Parthenium</em>, Cinnamon, <em>Asparagus</em>, <em>Zamia</em>, <em>Lantana</em>, <em>Eucalyptus </em>and <em>Datura </em>was taken to observe the effect on mycelial growth and conidial germination of <em>Alternaria brassicae </em>I-6A1y21 isolate. Among these plant extracts, only five plants extracts (Neem, Garlic, <em>Lantana</em>, <em>Eucalyptus </em>and <em>Datura</em>) were used in radial growth and ten plants extracts (Lemon, Curry-leaf, Neem, <em>Duranta</em>, Ginger, Garlic, <em>Parthenium</em>, Cinnamon, <em>Asparagus </em>and <em>Zamia </em>were used against conidial germination. Among the selected plants, the leaf extracts that showed maximum inhibition in mycelial growth was observed with Neem leaf extracts followed by Garlic, <em>Eucalyptus</em>, <em>Datura </em>and <em>Lantana</em>. The chemical Mancozeb fungicide was used at 0.2% level, which caused 100% inhibition in growth of selected isolate I-6A1y21 of <em>A. brassicae</em>. Other plant extracts inhibited the growth of test isolate which varied from 28.24% to 94.97% over control. The radial growth percent inhibition of treatments T3, T5, T4, T1, and T2 was 24.28, 35.45, 51.58, 79.29, and 94.97%, respectively, compared to the radial growth percent inhibition (100%) of treatment with 0.2% mancozeb (test treated, T6). Among the aqueous extracts of ten plants, the aqueous extracts of <em>Azadirachta indica</em>, <em>Zingiber officinale</em>, and <em>Allium sativum </em>were the substances that showed an inhibitory effect on the conidial germination of the <em>A</em>. <em>brassicae </em>I-6A1y21 isolate.</p> ER -
