Post-Harvest Control of Tomato Fruit Rot Caused by Fusarium Solan Using Extracts of Neem (Azadiracta Indica)
ABSTRACT
Fungal
rot Is one of the Important disease of tomato fruit In storage. Fusarium solani
Is important pathogen isolated from stored tomato fruits. The alcohol and water
extracts of different plant parts (root, bark and leaf) of the neem plant
(Azadiractita md/ca) were found to be effective In controlling the spread of
the rot - causing organism in culture and checking rot development in the tomato
fruits. The alcohol extract of different parts especially the bark of neem gave
the highest growth inhibition of the fungus both in-vitro and in-vivo. In
in-vivo experiment, spraying of the extract before inoculating with
spore/hyphal suspension of the pathogen gave a better control of the rot
disease than when the spore/hyphal suspension was spray-inoculated on the
tomato before spraying the extract. The extracts from neem bark were more
effective, foflowed by leaf and then the root Thus, the extract from the neem
especially from the bark could be used by farmers to control the rot of tomato
fruit caused by Fusanum so/an/in storage.
