THE EFFECTS OF A COMBINATION OF FIVE DIFFERENT PLANT EXTRACTS OF MEDICINAL PLANTS ON THE GROWTH AND SPORULATION OF PATHOGENIC FUNGI PREVALENT ON MAKHANA PLANT

WHO, in its bulletin has advocated the use of alternate chemical ingredients for protection of crops instead of commercial chemicals in the form of fungicides, Pesticides and insecticides. Their residual on the crops and their produce results the different health hazards which has now become a challenging task for the survival of mankind. In market there are a lot of commercial chemicals available in the form of fungicides which farmer apply on their infected plants. Although these chemical are useful in controlling the spread of devastating fungi but their little amount of residual is sufficient to cause different health hazards which is the direct result of increasing mortality rate. Taking these problems in their view the World Health Organization now has advocated the search of alternate chemical in place of harmful one and it will be possible only when we may give an out look towards the natural wealth the plant. In this research work, I have considered a standard extract which will be the combination of the extract of five important. Medicinal plants including A. Indica, ocimum sanctum, calotropis procera, c. zizanoides, cascabela thevetia. This extract when was applied on four pathogenic fungi of Makhana plant showat satisfactory result.
