Abstract:
The present studies control of fungal disease of Arachis hypogeal L. by using plant leaf extract during the period 2018– 2019. Plant suffers from many fungal diseases. Fungal disease management programme cost very effective and eco friendly components like plant extract are used to control soil borne fungal plant pathogens. Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia bataticola fungal plant pathogens of groundnut. Effect of four different plant extracts at three different concentrations 30%, 50%, and 100 percentage. The fungal pathogen was studied by Food poisoning Technique. The 100 % concentration of these plants extracts showed more inhibition in the growth of pathogen than other 50% and 30 % concentration. Maximum percentage of 64.7 and 77.5 was recorded against Aspergillus flavus using the leaf extract of Adhatoda vasica at 50 and 100 percentage concentrations respectively. Datura stramonium was least effective in inhibiting growth of Rhizoctonia bataticola with percentage inhibition of only 67.8. Fusarium oxysporum was effectively controlled by Datura stramonium, Withania somnifera. Withania somnifera was found to be most effective in controlling Aspergillus niger while Datura stramonium was effective against Aspergillus niger. In general Datura stramonium, Withania somnifera were effective control of fungal pathogen as compared other two leaf extract.
