Antifungal Activity of Neem (Azadirachta indica) Leaf Extract against Pathogens Associated with Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Fruit Spoilage
The study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf extract against fungal phytopathogens isolated from diseased tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) fruit. Diseased tomato fruits were obtained and to establish a mixed culture. Two distinctive fungi were identified on the mixed cultures and subculture into freshly prepared potato dextrose agar medium.
