4. Discussion The efficacy of cow urine and its distillates as an antifungal agent has been reported [12, 14–17]. Different authors have focused on different growth characteristics of different species of fungi as well as varying concentrations of cow urine. In some cases, cow urine has been used in combination with plant extracts [6, 12] or cow dung [14] or as cow urine concentrate after distillation [18]. In all cases, it has been proved that cow urine can be an effective treatment and control of fungal infections. The present study sought to shed more light on the efficacy of cow urine in inhibiting growth of F. lateritium.The results have shown that, at varying concentrations of cow urine, inhibition of fungal growth is observed with the efficacy being largely dependent on the cow urine concentration. The efficacy of cow urine in controlling conidial germination agrees with the findings of Payne et al. [19] though there are some differences in experimental design that may have had a bearing on results obtained. In their study, Payne et al. [19] used the cow urine in combination with some botanical extracts which makes it impossible to attribute the observed reduction in conidial germination to cow urine alone, whereas the present study does clarify cow urine’s efficacy. In an in vitro assessment of the efficacy of cow urine distillates, Deshmukh et al. [20] found that germ tube lengths of Aspergillus spp. and Mucor spp. were significantly reduced by treatment with cow urine distillates compared to the control. This finding is consistent with the present study where lower germ tube lengths were observed in all treatments with cow urine although we did not subject the cow urine to distillation prior to use. The observed reduction in mycelial growth rate in the present study concurs with the findings of Alam et al. [15] who reported a reduction in mycelial growth of Sclerotinia
