Abstract

Plants are able to produce various chemical substances in order to protect their body from several abiotic and biotic stresses. These phyto-chemicals are secondary metabolites that can inhibit pathogenic growth by terminating their cellular body. In present studies, it is evaluated that plant products like aerial part of Alfalfa, Rice husk and wheat straw comprised phyto-chemicals with different strength. Study showed that alfalfa contains greater amount of phyto-chemicals such as total phenols, flavonoids and higher percentage of antioxidants. It was also able to inhibit the mycelial growth of Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium solani by its methanolic and chloformic extracts. Beside alfalfa, methanolic extract of wheat straw exhibited 100 % eradication of R. solani and F. oxysporum as comprised second highest measures of phyto-chemicals. Rice husk contained lesser amount of total phenols, total flavonoids and lowest percentage of antioxidant. Rice husk also showed minimum inhibition percentage of phytopathogens as compared to the other plant extracts. It is concluded that all plant products contain different strengths of phytochemicals and have ability to inhibit the mycelial growth of phytopathogens to protect their plant body against infections. It is also concluded that among above mentioned plant species, extracts of alfalfa and wheat straw showed greater results of phyto-chemicals as well as inhibition percentage of pathogens
