Antifungal activity of bark extract of E. citriodora: The
growth assays of F. oxysporum strain B in terms of dry
biomass production against exposure to methanolic bark
extract of E. citriodora revealed an excessive interference
as presented in Fig. 5. Control treatment was used to
compare the difference between the treatments. It was
evident from the results that with increasing the extract
concentration; the significant reduction in biomass was
more visible with an erratic pattern. The 1% concentration
depicted less negative effect on biomass inhibition
(12.63% decline) but significantly lower than control. The
treatments 1.5-3.5% were comparatively insignificant
among themselves as these inclined about 20-36%
cessation in fungal growth. Among all the concentrations
4.5 and 5% concentrations were proved to be the most
effective against the fungal pathogen as these persuaded
around 57.8 and 60% subjugation in dry biomass
production, respectively
