Antifungal activities of selected leaves extracts on Aspergillus niger van Tiegh. isolated from Vigna unguiculata (subsp. sesquipedalis L. Verdcourt )

摘要

The objective of the present study was to determine the inhibition efficacy of the selected leaves extracts on the mycelial growth of the endophytic fungal pathogen isolated from Vigna unguiculata (sub sp. sesquipedalis) L. Verdcourt. The Aqueous leaf extracts of the selected plants with different concentrations were tested for its antifungal capability in Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) medium. The inhibition zone was measured with the inhibition zone of the control taken without leaves extract. Here, the leaves of five plants were used to determine the efficiency of inhibition against the endophytic fungus Aspergillus niger.
