Abstract– Effect of ethanol and chloroform extract of leaf, stem, bark and seed of selected plants Millettia pinnata L., Cassia tora L., Cymbopogon citratus Stapf. and Moringa oleifera Lam. was studied against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi (ITCC No.-4814), the causal organism of Fusarium wilt in pea. Almost all the extracts inhibited mycellial growth of test pathogen. Among them the maximum inhibition was found in 10 % concentration of chloroform extract of Millettia pinnata L. seed with 70 mm inhibition zone and Cassia tora L. seed or bark with 65.7 mm against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi. Significant inhibition was also occurred in ethanol extract of Millettia pinnata L. seed with 65 mm inhibition zone. Ethanol and chloroform extracts were highly significant on inhibition of mycelial growth in different concentration.
Key words: Plant extracts, ethanol, chloroform, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi
