MK Gurme*, SD Dhavle

The present study deals with the evaluation of antifungal effect of leaf extract of Tagetes erecta against Taphrina maculans. The experiment was carried out in vitro using different concentrations of leaf extract from 1.0 to 3.0 each was tested by food-poisoning technique. As the concentration of Tagetes erecta increases, the linear growth of fungus gets decreased. The Tagetes erecta leaf extract at 3.0% concentration completely inhibits the linear growth of Taphrina maculans (8.00 mm)
