EVALUATING THE ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY OF AGNIASTRAM (3G’S) ON ASPERGILLUS NIGER
Abstract
In today's world, organic agricultural techniques have gained significant importance. Plants remain the primary source of fulfilling fundamental human needs, including food, shelter, and clothing. Despite advancements in technology, plants continue to play a vital role in ensuring healthy living. The use of bio-pesticides and bio-fertilizers has become increasingly prevalent in agriculture. Research is rapidly advancing in the development of bio-pesticides to combat plant diseases caused by pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes. In this study an experimental work has been initiated to check the Bio pesticides and its control over particular fungi, Aspergillus niger. To check the Agniastram a biopesticide which is also a bio fertilizers such as 3G’S (Zingiberofficinale,Alliumsativum,Capsicum annum) was course applied into the well grown Aspergillus niger on a petridish in a invitro condition and to check the 3G’s efficicy. Phytochemical study was analysed and PDA nutrients was prepared to grow the fungal innoculam.
