Antifungal effects of water, alcoholic and phenolic extracts of seeds and leaves of sorghum bicolor [l.] moench on fusarium solani and F. poae

ABSTRACT

Fusarium from Tuberculariacea family is listed as one capable of causing mycetomas in human, animals and plants. In this investigation, antifungal activity of water, metanolic and phenolic extracta of seeds and leaves of sorghum bicolor were studied on Fusarium poae and F. solani. Primarily, the crude water extracts at 7 concentrations of 0-50mg/l were tested. The concentrations of 10 and 40 mg/1, showed inhibitor effects on F. poae. The methanol extracts at different concentrations were tested. 20, 30and 40 mg/1 [Specially 30 mg/0 of metanolic extract showed antifungal activity agianst F. poae. The phenolic compouns [0 - 25mg/l] showed high antifungal activity on F. solani and F. poae
