“…Similar effects of various other plant products effective against Alternaria spp. were reported by several authors (Latha et al 2009;Goussous et al 2010). Vijayan (1989) reported that the bulb extract of A. sativum, leaf extract of Aegle marmelos and flower extract of Catharanthus roseus inhibited the spore germination and mycelial growth of A. solani.…”

“…It is now known that various natural plant products can reduce populations of foliar pathogens and control the disease development, and then these plant extracts have a potential as environmentally safe alternatives and as components in integrated pest management programs (Bowers & Locke 2004). A number of plant species have been reported to possess natural substances that are toxic to several plant pathogenic fungi (Goussous et al 2010). Dushyent and Bohra (1997), studied the effect of 11 different plant extracts on the mycelial growth of A. solani and found that leaf extracts of some plants, i.e.…”

The antimicrobial activity of six plant extracts from ocimum basilicum (Sweat Basil), Azadirachta indica (Neem), Eucalyptus chamadulonsis (Eucalyptus), Datura stramonium (Jimsonweed), Nerium oleander (Oleander), and Allium sativum (Garlic) was tested for controlling Alternaria solani in vitro and in vivo. In in vitro study the leaf extracts of D. stramonium, A. indica, and A. sativum at 5% concentration caused the highest reduction of mycelial growth of A. solani (44.4, 43.3 and 42.2%, respectively), while o. basilicum at 1% and 5% concentration and N. oleander at 5% concentration caused the lowest inhibition of mycelial growth of the pathogen. In greenhouse experiments the highest reduction of disease severity was achieved by the extracts of A. sativum at 5% concentration and D. stramonium at 1% and 5% concentration. The greatest reduction of disease severity was achieved by A. sativum at 5% concentration and the smallest reduction was obtained when tomato plants were treated with o. basilicum at 1% and 5% concentration (46.1 and 45.2 %, respectively). D. stramonium and A. sativum at 5% concentration increased the fruit yield by 76.2% and 66.7% compared to the infected control. All treatments with plant extracts significantly reduced the early blight disease as well as increased the yield of tomato compared to the infected control under field conditions.

“…Species of the genus Salvia are comprised of secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity and their extracts have shown increased efficacy against plant pathogenic fungi such as Alternaria solani , B. cinerea , Cladosporium spp., Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis , Penicillium spp., and Verticillium dahliae . Salvia fruticosa Mill., commonly known as Greek sage, has received attention due to its health‐promoting properties and economic importance.…”

“…Antifungal activity of neem is due to different types of tetra terpenoids & phenolics [9]. These findings are supported from the literature as [10] evaluated the aqueous extract of Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) on hydrophobicity, biofilm formation and adhesion in composite resin by Candida albicans and [11] evaluated the antifungal activity for several medicinal plants against the early blight fungus (Alternaria solani). Leaf extract was selected for further treatment and different organic fractions viz: n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol were partitioned from the crude methanol extract of A.indica leaves [12].…”

The antifungal activity of Azadirachta indica L was investigated against Alternaria solani. sorauer responsible for early blight in potato. Different concentrations of leaf and fruit methanol extracts viz. 1%, 2%…5% were applied against A. solani. Leaf extract was found more significant than fruit extract. This extract was subjected to bioassays guided fractionation by using various organic solvents viz. n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. In vitro antifungal activities of these fractions were tested against A. solani alongwith a commercial fungicide Metalaxyl+Mancozeb. Different concentrations (100-0.190 mg mL-1) were used for evaluation of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and data was recorded after 24, 48 & 72 hrs. Ethyl acetate fraction was found most effective in retarding fungal growth with MIC of 0.19 mg and this fraction was also effective than fungicide (Metalaxyl+Mancozeb) as the fungicide has MIC of 0.78 mg. The other fractions were comparatively less antifungal as compared to control. 
