Abstract

Ethanolic extract and essential oil of leaf of Polyalthia longifolia were tested  against five rice pathogens, viz., Pyricularia oryzae, Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium moniliforme, Aspergillus niger and Curvularla lunata. Ethanolic extract besides being more effective, possessed broad spectrum fungi toxicity than essential oil.
