Use of Botanical Products for Breakdown the Parasitize of New Recorded Penicillium funiculosum of Aonla

The present investigation was undertaken in the Department of Plant Pathology, BA College of Agriculture, AAU, Anand. The Penicilliumfuniculosum rot of aonla was found a new record in Gujarat and it was identified by Division of Mycology and Plant Pathology, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. Bio-efficacy of nine phytoextracts at 10% were tested against the mycelial growth and sporulation of Penicilliumfuniculosum in vitro, among them significantly lowest mycelial growth of Penicilliumfuniculosum was recorded in neem leaf extract showing 89.49% growth inhibition. Further, it was also proved most effective in reducing the Penicillium rot severity both in pre- (20.44%) and post-inoculation (20.87%) treatments at 7 day after inoculation, respectively. The next best treatment in tested phytoextracts tulsi and garlic were found both in in vitro and in vivo condition.
