The Comparison of aqueous extracts of Citrus × Aurantium (sour orange) and Aloe Vera (aloe) as fungistatic control of Fusarium Sp

Abstract

Objective: In this work, the fungistatic capacity of extracts obtained from Citrus × aurantium (sour orange) and Aloe vera, was evaluated on phytopathogenic fungi of the genus Fusarium sp.

Design/methodology/approach: Three aqueous extracts were performed (aloe: peel, aloe: peel and gel, sour orange: peel). The ability to inhibition in the in vitro growth of a fusarium sp. ml, 500 µg/ml, 250 µg/ml, 1 mg/ml, 5 mg/ml, 10 mg/ml, 20 mg/ml, 50 mg/ml, 70 mg/ml and 100 mg/ml in each The extracts, a witness was added which was sterilized purified water, the radial creation was measured based on the infected disk to the edge of the mycelium diameter day by day.

Results: The extracts that managed to obtain a good response in inhibition were the ethanolic extracts in concentrations of 100 and 70 mg of aloe in 1 ml of agar, the concentration of 70 mg of orange in 1 ml of agar and in the aqueous extract of aloe: Cascara and 100 mg concentration gel extract in 1.0 ml of agar

Findings/conclusions: The aqueous aloe extract, proved to have inhibitory potential in the radial growth of fusarium of 47.5%.
