Antifungal activity of fruit extract of E. citriodora: In
general the methanolic fruit extract of E. citriodora was
found to be less effective in terms of its antimycotic potential
against test fungal growth than leaf extracts. A variable
response of dry biomass production in F. oxysporum strain B
was recorded to methanol fruit extract of E. citriodora in
different concentrations (Fig. 6). All the treatments presented
a piercing and significant imprisonment in dry biomass
production as compared to control but the suppression rate
among the concentrations was negligible. There was about
45-50.5% inhibition in fungal growth due to all the
employed concentrations. Among the three plant parts of E.
citriodora tested, performance of leaf extract was the best in
suppressing the growth of target pathogen followed by fruit
and bark extracts.
