| Abstract: | Garlic extract, prepared as a juice from crushed garlic cloves inhibited the in-vitro growth of Fusarium solani f.sp. phaseoli. Adequate in-vivo control of foot rot of Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Seafarer was achieved by seed treatment with either the extract from crushed cloves or with an aqueous preparation of commercial lyophilized garlic powder. |
