Abstract
Aqueous extracts of neem (Azadirachta indicia A. Juss) seed, seed kernel, seed coat and deoiled seed cake were evaluated for and fungicidal effects at three different concentrations against Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus, Fusarium moniliforme, and Rhizoctonia solani. Benlate ( fungicide) was used for comparison. All the extracts have shown fungicidal actitvity of varying degree against test species. Neem seed extract at 0.1 % concentration was as effective as benlate against R.solani and neem cake extract was found most effective against F. moniliforme. The responses were does dependent and statistically significant compared to the untreated check.
