Abstract
The in vitro aqueous and methanol leaves extract of Azadirachta indica Juss plant at different concentrations from 10 to 40% each was tested by following poisoned food technique. The different concentrations of leaves extract used were as 0.0 (control), 10, 20, 30 and 40%. The Azadirachta indica Juss aqueous leaves extract at 40% concentration was found to be most effective in reducing the mycelial growth of the pathogen. Similarly the methanolic leaves extract at 30% and 40% concentration was found to be most effective in reducing the mycelial growth of the pathogen.
