Antifungal effect of aqueous extracts of chromolaena odorata and ocimum gratissimum on two pathogenic fungi of vigna unguiculata (l.) walp, in daloa (center-west, Côte D'ivoire)
This study is a contribution to the search for alternative solutions based on plant extracts to fight against phytopathogenic fungi. The objective is to test the effectiveness of doses of aqueous extracts of C. odorata and O. gratissimum on the development of two species of phytopathogenic fungi. The results showed that the extracts inhibit mycelial growth. These extracts significantly reduced the progression of two fungi, Colletotrichum sp. and Rhizoctonia sp. The severity averageratings of the two accessions ranged from 0.16 to 0.82.
