Abstract

Eggplant/Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) is the most significant and widely consumed as nutritious vegetable. Fusarium wilt is the major destructive disease in most of the vegetable growing regions of Pakistan. The research was conducted to assess fungicides against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae from eggplant in field and in-vitro efficacy of numerous plant extracts. In current research, three treatments (T) i.e; shincar, flumax, Topsin-M, along with control were used at recommended dose with three consecutive sprays, on comparison of disease incidence with control, the Shincar showed 21.03% disease incidence, Topsin-M showed 31.94% disease incidence and the Flumax was close to control as it showed the least effect against the Fusarium wilt by showing 35.85% disease incidence. Furthermore, for plant extracts, poisoned food technique was used in the lab. The results were significant for all treatments (T), concentrations of (C), days (D) and their interactions (T x D), (T x C) and (C x D). Zingiber officinale showed less growth of colony (1.28cm) following Allium sativum (1.62cm), Datura stramonium (2.17cm), Eucalyptus globulus (2.50cm), Azadirachta indica (2.76cm) compared to control, respectively. Results of the present study showed a significant decrease in fungal growth of tested fungicides such as Shincar (Carbendazim) and Zingiber officinale (Ginger).
