Evaluation of possible biological control of Fusarium  concentricum sp. using plant extracts and antagonistic species of microbes in vitro.

ABSTRACT: Background: Fusarium concentricum is one of the most devastating fungi responsible for fruit and vegetable crops rot worldwide. The present study was designed to find an ecofriendly control measure for pathogenic Fusarium concentricum, using suitable bioagents. Methods: Medicinal plant extracts were evaluated or their antifungal activities against Fusarium concentricum using the poisoned food and serial dilution methods. Antagonistic potency of some nonpathogenic microbes was also assessed on Fusarium concentricum using the dual culture method. Results: Highest inhibition of growth of Fusarium  concentricum was observed with 68.1% (0.389 mg per 90 mm Petri plate) of mycelia on Coccinia grandis
