Abstract: Bakanae disease is an important disease of rice causing serious threat to basmati production in all basmati rice growing countries including India. It is emerging as major problem in basmati rice producing areas of India. As per report, this disease caused 15% losses in India and 40-50% in Japan. This disease caused by Fusarium moniliforme Sheldon (teleomorph- Gibberella fujikuroi Sawada) is mainly seed borne but this may be soil borne also. Therefore seed treatment may be an effective method for management of this disease. To know the inhibitory effect, extract of different botanicals (weed host, medicinal plant and tree plant) were evaluated against F. moniliforme in vitro through the poison food technique. It was observed that extract of botanicals have quit inhibitory effect against fungal growth whereas extract of some medicinal plant found effective. Among weed host plants, extract of Solenum (Solanum nigrum) and Bhang (Cannabis sativa) found effective, inhibit 29.65 and 23.89% growth of F. moniliforme respectively. Among medicinal plants, extract of Clove (Syzygium Aromaticum), Ajwain and Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi), Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) observed with effective result, inhibit fungal growth 100, 97.53 and 55.56% growth respectively. In the evaluated tree plant extract, extract of Neem (Azadirachta Indica) and Aonla (Phyllanthus emblica) was found effective. Extract of Neem and Aonla inhibited 47.06 and 36.47% fungal growth respectively. Present investigation concluded that extract of some botanical have the good fungicidal effect against the pathogen. Therefore, they can be useful tool in integrated disease management programme.
