ISHRAT NIAZ, UZMA SITARA AND SHAHABUDDIN QADRI
Abstract
Effect of neem (Azadirachta indica) seed oil, Dill (Anethum graveolens) seed oil and benlate fungicide @ 0.1, 0.01, 0.001 & 1.0% concentration were tested against four species of Drechslera viz., Drechslera rostrata, D. hawaiiensis, D. papendorfii and D. specifera. Dill seed oil 1% was most effective against D. rostrata and D. papendorfii whereas 1% Neem seed oil inhibited the growth of D. specifera and D. hawaiiensis. All treatments significantly inhibited the growth of all tested fungi; however dill seed oil showed greater suppression at all dose level followed by neem seed oil and benlate fungicide.
