Antifungal Activity of Garlic Extracts against Neofusicocum mangiferae

Abstract

Neofusicoccum mangiferae considered as one of most important disease of forest and horticulture trees in worldwide, and in Sudan. The present investigation was undertaken under laboratory condition of plant production Department, college of Agricultural study, Sudan University of Science and Technology, to study the anti fungal activity of alcoholic of extracts of bulbs of garlic plant, and efficacy of fungicide (score) on linear growth, of the fungus Neofusicoccum mangiferae. Three concentration of alcoholic extract of garlic and fungicide, each of 25, 50 and 100%, at were used in addition to control. The results showed that all concentrations of the alcoholic extract of garlic tested and fungicide exhibited significantly high inhibitory effect against the linear growth of test fungus compared to control. However, the effect of both fungicide and garlic extracts was more pronounced against test fungus. The high concentration of the fungicide score, garlic extract. At gave significantly higher inhibition .Among the plant extracts tested that of garlic was invariably the most effective in suppressing the fungus growth than fungicide. Generally, the results showed that the anti fungal activity increase with increase in extract concentration.
