Leaf Extract of Cassia fistula: A Biofungicide against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Cercospora bataticola| Chapter 8 | Cutting Edge Research in Biology Vol. 1

 Indiscriminate and unrestrained use of chemical fungicides have grown resistant in many fungal plant pathogens that challenging to control most fungal plant ailments. Since the dawn of time, phytochemicals have donated a important role to human prosperity without producing any harm. PFT means with various leaf extracts of Cassia fistula (Aqueous, methanol and acetone)  and their three concentrations (250µl, 500µl and 1000µl per 15 ml of PDA) were secondhand against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides causing anthracnose (a post-harvest ailment of fruits) and Cercospora bataticola, leading to leaf spot of vegetable. The study's findings disclosed that maximum inhibition (76.8%) of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was establish with1000µl concentration of methanolic extract of Cassia fistula leaves 3 DAI while maximum restriction of Cercospora bataticola (68.7%) was found accompanying the same aggregation of acetone extract of Cassia fistula leaves 3 DAI. Considerable growth restriction of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (68.7%) and Cercospora bataticola (50.5%) were found accompanying 1000µl aggregation of methanolic and acetonic extracts of Cassia fistula leaves. 5 DAI. Acetonic extract of Cassia fistula leaves with 1000µl aggregation was also erect as a good antifungal for Colletotrichum gloeosporioides with 64.8% and 54.6% progress inhibition 3 DAI and 5 DAI individually. The current study found that methanolic and acetonic leaf extracts of Cassia fistula maybe used for fungal plant ailment management, but more research is wanted.
