Abstract

The present investigation aimed to evaluate the antifungal effects of Adhatodavasica L., Tagetes patula L., Vinca rosea L., Lowsoniainermis L. and Andrographis paniculuta L. on seed germination and seed- associated fungi of two rice varieties viz.BRRI-28 and BRRI-50 in In vitroconditions following the Blotter method. The highest seed germination was recorded as 58.67% and it enhanced 68.18% over control at 1:1 dilution of A. vasicaL. in surface sterilized seeds of BRRI-28 variety. Total of five fungal genera namely Aspergillus niger, Fusarium sp., Aspergillus flavus, Trichoderma viride, Penicillium sp. and Rhizopus sp. were isolated from treated and controlled rice seeds. A. niger, Rhizopus sp., Fusarium sp. and T. viride were totally controlled at all dilutions of the tested plant extracts in the BRRI-28 variety while in BRRI-50 variety A. niger, Rhizopus sp., Fusarium sp. and T. viride were also remarkably controlled with all dilutions of L. inermis L. and A.paniculuta L. extracts. Among these plant extracts A. paniculutaextractswas the most potential followed by A. vasica L., T. patula L., V. rosea L.and L.inermis L. for reduction seed-associated fungi.
