- Abstract
Herbal bio-formulations which are based on natural products are best alternative of existing chemical fungicides. These plant based formulation do not have any residual effect. In the present study attempt has been made to develop formulation containing combination of elicitor, binder and plant extract. Presence of elicitors and binders not only enhance antifungal activity but also field stability of formulation. Total 30 combinations of formulations were prepared, among these combinations, no. 7 and 13 prepared with crude showed best antifungal activity i.e. 79.34% and 78.10% mycelial growth inhibition respectively. In rest of preparations which involves partially purified plant extract, maximum mycelia growth inhibition was observed with preparation no 18 and 23 i.e. 85.54% and 83.06% respectively. Thus prepared formulation effectively inhibits the growth of Alterneria solani. Hence, this formulation can be used to manage crop and plant losses caused by fungal pathogens.
