Abstract

The present study was carried out during the year 2011-2012 for evaluating five Medicinal and four Aromatic plants viz., Withania somnifera, Andrographis paniculata, Allium vineale, Catharanthus roseus, Bixa orellana, Cymbopogan martini, C. flexuosus, C. winterianus and Ocimum sanctum in vitro against chickpea wilt complex pathogens at 15% concentration. Data indicated significant differences on radial mycelial growth over uninoculated control. Thiram treatment arrested 100% growth against ail the three pathogens. In vitro evaluation of medicinal plants viz., Catharanthus roseus, Bixa orellana and Withania somnifera were found significantly superior against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri, Rhizoctonia bataticola and Sclerotium rolfsii with 86.30%, 84.10% and 78.52% per cent inhibition respectively. Among aromatic plants, Ocimum sanctum was found most effective in restricting radial mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri, Rhizoctonia bataticola and Sclerotium rolfsii by 81.48%, 87.78% and 75.20% respectively.
