@article{Bashir_Abdulkadir_Shah_Hamisu_Sharif_Kamalu_2020, title={Phytochemical screening and antifungal potentials of Citrus limon peels against Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizopus stolonifer causing rots in water melon (Citrullus lanatus L.)}, volume={11}, url={https://www.updatepublishing.com/journal/index.php/jes/article/view/6206}, DOI={10.25081/jes.2020.v11.6206}, abstractNote={<p style="text-align: justify;">This study investigated the phytochemical constituents and antifungal potential of <em>Citrus limon</em> peels using aqueous and methanol extracts against <em>Fusarium oxysporum</em> and <em>Rhizopus stolonifer</em> causing rots in water melon. The result of phytocemical screening revealed the presence of Saponin, Tannin, Phenols, Alkaloid and Flavanoid. Pathogenicity test conducted showed that <em>F. oxysporum</em> and <em>R. stolonifer</em> causes rots of <em>Citrullus lanatus</em>. The extracts inhibited the growth of <em>F. oxysporum</em> (76.67% and 60.00 %) methanol and aqueous respectively. <em>R. stolonifer</em> growth was inhibited (85.93% and 71.11%) methanol and aqueous extracts. The fungitoxicity of synthetic fungicide Benomyl was 95.56%. The methanol extracts has highest inhibitory activity than aqueous extract. The result of the findings indicates the Biofungicide potentials of <em>Citrus limon</em> peels as alternative to synthetic fungicide in management of phyto-pathogens of water lemon.</p>}, journal={Journal of Experimental Sciences}, author={Bashir, L.U. and Abdulkadir, A. and Shah, M.
