AbstractAntifungal activity of the bioactive compound 2H-Fu
ro[2,3-H]-1-benzopyran-2-one isolated from seeds of
Psoralea
corylifolia
L. recorded complete inhibition of
Drechslera halodes
and
Trichoderma viride
at 800ppm concentration.
Cladosporium cladosporoides
recorded 98.0% inhibition at 1000ppm ,
Curvularia lunata
recorded 71.0%
inhibition at 800ppm and
Alternaria alternata
recorded 90.0% inhibition at 900ppm concentration r
espectively. The
Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of all the tes
t fungi was identified and all the results obtained
were
compared to synthetic fungicide Dithane M45 and Bavi
stin.
