Abstract


The present study documented the fungal diseases of wheat crop and their biological management by using corolla extracts of two medicinal plants ‘Butea monosperma and Calotropis procera’. The highest infection rate (57.14%) was observed against Fusarium graminearum while minimum infection rate (20.8%) was observed against Blumeria graminis pathogen. The highest severity rate was recorded at 80% while the minimum severity rate was recorded as 40%. The antifungal responses of corolla extracts have been applied against the most prevalent fungal pathogens of wheat. The highest zone of inhibition was observed in methanolic extract of Butea monosperma petals against fungi Alternaria triticina. Similarly, the maximum zone of inhibition was observed in methanolic extract of Calotropis procera against fungi Fusarium graminearum. It was indicated that the treated wheat plants produced better yield than non-treated plants.  It was observed that the Calotropis procera showed more potential for the management of fungal diseases than Butea monosperma. So, it was concluded that the C. procera petals are more efficient because they have rich chemical compositions. Therefore, these were considered very effective against selected fungal pathogens of wheat.
