Abstract

Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid is a soil borne fungus causes root rot diseases to Sarpagandha (Rauwolfia serpentina). The fungus infects the root and lower stem of over 500 plant species and is widely distributed in the United States (Wyllie, 1988). The bioefficacy of Azadiracta indica A. Juss Acetone leaf extract against growth of Macrophomina phaseolina was studied by using Acetone as a solvent at different concentrations i.e., 1.00, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00, 5.00, 6.00, 7.00, 8.00, 9.00 and 10.00 % for their antifungal efficacy.
