ABSTRACT
Damping-off of tobacco caused by Pyhtium aphanidermatum is a dreadful nursery disease in middle Gujarat conditions resulting in huge loss in transplantable seedlings. Out of 24 botanicals were tested in vitro against P. aphanidermatum and found that hexane solvent Parthenium hysterophorus (flowers) and Aegle marmelos (leaves) were most effective and showed complete inhibition of the pathogen.
Key words :
Damping-off, hexane extracts and botanicals, tobacco, Pythium aphanidermatum.
