Abstract :
Parthenium hysterophorus leaf extracts were
tested in vitro for fungitoxic activity against Phytopthora
capsici isolated from Solanum melongena eggplant and
Capsicum annuum in various solvents such as acetone,
ethanol, methanol, and aqueous. Fungitoxicity was
assessed using the food poisoning technique, which
involved utilising various extracts at 200mg/ml and
recording their activity as radial growth and percentage
inhibition. Ethanol and acetone extracts were the only
ones to completely stop the fungus from growing.
Methanol inhibited the fungus by 50%, whereas the
aqueous extract had no effect. The results of this study
show that ethanol and acetone extracts of Parthenium
hysterophorus can be utilised as a biofungicide to suppress
pathogenic fungus
