“…Black gram seeds treated with Ocimum basilicum leaf powder showed less seed mycoflora and increased seed germination than in untreated seeds. Shoot and root lengths were more in treated seeds than in untreated ones (Kandhare, 2018). Evidences from the current and other studies thus show that the neem and tulsi leaf powder and their combinations could be implemented to control seed mycoflora of oilseeds and to enhance their seedlings quality.…”

The present study involved seed health testing of four oil seeds (mustard, niger, groundnut and sunflower) for seed-borne fungi and seed vigor, and the evaluation of neem and tulsi leaf powders as seed treatment biofungicides. Standard blotter, agar plate and paper towel methods were employed. All the seed samples tested yielded several seed borne fungi. The herbal powders were screened individually and in combination (1:1) at the concentrations of 2, 5 and 10% by seed treatment. The incidence of seed borne fungi from oilseeds was substantially reduced by neem and tulsi powder on seed treatment in comparison to untreated control seeds. The leaf powders also increased seed germination and seedling emergence with increased shoot and root length. These plant powders could possibly be exploited in the management of seed-borne pathogenic fungi to prevent deterioration of oil seeds and to increase their vigor in an eco-friendly way.

“…Ocimum sanctum L., (holy basil), called tulsi in India, is a plant recognized with its medicinal values since time immemorial (Singh et al, 2007). Owing to these aspects plant powders have been successfully used for the management of seed borne fungi (Rochalsk, 2009;Kandhare, 2018).…”
