Author(s): MS Rathore and Avinash D Patil
Abstract: In this study, effect of neem and lantana leaf extract on the growth Sclerotium rolfsii was evaluated under in- vitro condition on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) medium. Results showed the growth inhibition of Sclerotium rolfsii to the extent of 34.2% and 62.2% with neem leaf extracts and 0% and 0% growth inhibition with lantana leaf extracts, @ 10 and 40% concentrations, respectively. Extract of neem leaf exhibited antagonistic activity and lantana had synergistic effect on the growth of Sclerotium rolfsii. Mycelium growth of Sclerotium rolfsii in the PDA plates supplied with 40% lantana leaf extracts were more thick and profuse when compared plates with 10% leaf extract, in comparison with control plates. However, in 15 days old culture plates number of sclerotia produced were found maximum in plates with 10% lantana leaf extract and very less sclerotia in plates with 40% lantana leaf extracts, compared to control.
