MANAGEMENT OF PEARL MILLET SMUT PATHOGEN (Tolyposporium penicillariae) THROUGH PLANT EXTRACTS
Journal Title: International Journal of Microbiology Research - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L. R. Br.) is an important cereal crop in India, which forms stable diet for nearly ten percent Indian population. Smut caused by Tolyposporium penicillariae Bref. is the most common and wide spread disease of pearl millet in Northern India. It is also a major biotic constraint for pearl millet grain and fodder production in Northern Madhya Pradesh. In present study a set of twenty plant extracts (at 20% concentration) along with control (Only PDA) were evaluated against test pathogen under laboratory conditions at Agriculture college of Gwalior during 2015-16. All these plant extracts were significantly inhibited mycelial growth of smut pathogen. The highest mycelial inhibition percent was found in case of Eucalyptus sp. (86.56%) which was followed by Azadirachta indica (seed) (79.65%), Parthenium historophorus (74.11%) and Azadirachta indica leaves extract (73.52%). The minimum percent inhibition was found in case of Allium cepa (16.40%) which was followed by Zinziber officinale (18.9%), Allium sativum (26.29%), Aegle marmelos (27.86%), Polyalthea longifolia (29.25%).
