ABSTRACT
The bulb extract of garlic (10 per cent) totally inhibited the fungus, while, the neem seed kernel extract (10 per cent) showed 60.46 per cent inhibition over control followed by bougainvillea 40.93 per cent and ginger 40.00 per cent. The test fungus did not sporulate in garlic and neem seed kernel extract, while in other treatments poor to good sporulation was observed. In case of control, excellent sporulation was recorded with 7.16 cm maximum colony diameter.
