Journal Title: STAR Journal - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Cow urine has got several applications in agriculture. It is shown to possess inhibitory activity against many phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria. Among various diseases of Chilli, anthracnose is the most important disease which results in drastic reduction in yield. The present study was conducted with an aim to determine antifungal efficacy of cow urine against Colletotrichum capsici isolated from anthracnose of chilli (Capsicum annuum L.). Poisoned food technique was employed to determine antifungal activity of different concentrations of cow urine (5, 10 and 15%). Cow urine was found to display concentration dependent inhibitory activity against fungal growth. An inhibition of >50% was observed at 5% concentration. In conclusion, the use of cow urine can be the costeffective and eco-friendly approach for controlling anthracnose in chilli.
