ABSTRACT
Pomegranate “the boon commercial fruit crop” to the farmer turned as a big bane after the severe outbreak of bacterial blight. Many growers finding no options to mitigate the disease effectively have uprooted their crop owing to unbearable losses. In recent years, there has been a major thrust on residue free organic pomegranate production. Taking the task into consideration, efficient botanicals and bio-agents need to be explored to fit into the management schedule. Keeping all these aspects in view, the present study was undertaken to explore the potential of aqueous and different solvent extracts of medicinal plant against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae. In the experiment of in vitro evaluation of phytoextracts of medicinal plants against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae solvent extract of Curcuma amada (Ambihalad), Syzygium aromaticum (Clove), Dhatura strumarium (Dhatura), Curcuma longa (Turmeric), Allium sativum (Garlic), Eucalyptus globules (Nilgiri) were found effective against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae at all concentration. Out of six botanicals two botanicals had shown maximum zone of inhibition effectivity against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. Punicae. Moreover it is also indicated that inhibition zone of bacterium increased with increase in concentration.
