Abstract
This study determined the efficacy of jatropha plant part extracts against Cordana musae (Zimm) van Hoehnel causing leafspot of Cardava (cooking variety) banana; it was carried out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 14 treatments replicated three times in vitro and in vivo (protective and eradicative) set-ups. Results of bioassays revealed that of the ten jatropha plant part extracts, jatropha seed extract (JSE), jatropha young fruits + seed extracts (JFE + SE) and jatropha roots + leaves extracts (JR+LE) exhibited very effective (VE) inhibitory effect against C. musae based on diameter zone of inhibition after 72 hr of incubation comparable to the effect of Impatiens balsamina plant part extracts (IBPPE, botanical check) and benomyl (chemical check). Under screen house, jatropha seeds extract (JSE) applied as protectant delayed infection up to 14 days after inoculation (DAI) of C. musae on banana seedlings. JSE and JYF+SE and JR+LE reduced severity infection of Cordana leafspot from 6.70 to 11.07% after 40 days of protective treatment with the highest degree of control that ranged from 64.24 to 82.47%. Moreover, jatropha seeds extract (JSE), jatropha young fruit + seeds extracts (JYF+SE), and jatropha roots + leaves extracts (JR+LE) applied as eradicant exhibited significantly reduced severity of infection of Cordana leaf spot compared to other treatments. Jatropha seeds extract (JSE) and jatropha young fruit +seeds extract (JYF+SE) exhibited the highest degree of control against Cordana leafspot after four eradicative applications at 10-day intervals, comparable to the effect of Impatiens balsamina plant parts extract, IBPPE (botanical check) and benomyl (chemical check). Jatropha seeds extract (JSE) and jatropha young fruit + seeds extract (JYF+SE) thus showed potential as biofungicide against C. musae causing leaf spot of Cardava banana.
