Abstract

The extracts of Fusarium lateritium showed significant antifungal activity against phytopathogens and dermatophytes. Filtrates obtained from yeast extract sucrose and potato dextrose broth cultures were totally lethal to few of the phytopathogens and dermatophytes at 1000 μg mL−1. This demonstrated the antifungal efficacy of Fusarium lateritium.
