Abstract :
The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of leaf
extract of Boswellia dalzaelii (hutch), prosopis africana
(itto) and vachellia nilotica (l), in control of maize seed rot
caused by fusarium verticillioides. Phytochemical screening
of the plant extract was evaluated for the presence of
secondary metabolite, the result revealed the presence of
alkaloids, flavonoids, -glycosides, saponins, tannins, Phyto
phenol, and terpenes at various degrees of concentration,
which are likely the active compound of antimicrobial
activities. The effects of leaf extract on the inhibition of
spore germination and suppression of mycelial growth
were evaluated on the PDA medium amended with
extracts. The extracts showed varying degrees of efficacy
against the pathogen. The results revealed lower inhibition
at a lower concentration of 31.25mg/ml (31.27) and
gradually decreased at a maximum concentration of
500mg/ml (11.78). Inhibition and suppression increased
with increasing concentration of plant extracts on test
organisms (tables 1 and 2. Similarly, the study also
revealed that Mycelial growth was significantly (P ≤ 0.05)
reduced with increased concentration of all the extracts.
However, extracts of Boswellia dalzielii, Prosopis africana,
and Vechelia nilotica show a significant difference (P ≤
0.05) at a concentration of 31.25mg/ml, 60.5mg/ml,
125mg/ml, 250mg/ml and 500mg/ml.
