Significantly lower mycelial growth of pathogen was recorded in extracts of tulsi and was found superior over the rest. Next best was acalypha followed by garlic, lantana, naffatio, barmasiand neem. The extracts of different organics were tested against Fusarium solani by poisoned food technique in the in vitro condition.
