subjectAbstract

The in vitro antifungal potency of four plant latex extracts were evaluated for their botanical fungi toxicants on pathogenic fungi of Rumex acetosa L.The antifungal effect of aqueous extracts of latex namely Jatropa curcus, Calotropis gigentea,Ficus bengalensis and Ficus glomerata were selected. The inhibitory effect was tested by food poisoning technique and determined minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Due to the presence of bioactive molecules the latex extracts showed significant inhibition in different concentrations. Jatropa curcus latex extract showed 75% reduction of radial growth of Alternaria tenussima, Fusarium proliferatum at 50% conc and pytium 75% conc. In some extent, F. bengalens is also showed significant reduction of A.tenussima at 100% conc. The inhibitory effect of Callotropis gigantean was also shown in case of Pythium sp. at 100% conc.
