Studies on in vitro antifungal activity of Berberis aristata against phytopathogenic fungi

Neetu Thakur, Bansuli Shama

Abstract :

 Plant extracts are being used to control the diseases since last several years. Extracts of the various plant parts like stem, root, leaves, fruit and seed are found to be effective against fruit pathogenic fungi. The in vitro studies have been performed by using agar well diffusion method to examine the antifungal activity of Berberis aristata. Both aqueous and alcoholic extracts of Berberis aristata were screened against phytopathogenic fungi viz. Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus and Moucor rouxii. The aqueous extracts recorded effective antifungal activity against Alternaria alternata and Aspergillus flavus. These plant extracts can possibly be exploited in the management of fruit pathogenic fungi to prevent biodeterioration of fruits in an eco–friendly way
