Abstract

Antifungal activity of 2-hydroxy 4,4'6'trimethoxy chalcone individually was tested against spore germination of ten fungi of different genera. Efficacy of the chemical was also tested against conidial germination and other growth parameters of Erysiphe pisi on excised pea leaves. 2-Hydroxy 4,4'6'trimethoxy chalcone inhibited spore germination at all the concentrations. Maximum inhibition was observed at 2000 ppm where more than 78 per cent inhibition of spore germination was observed in Ustilago cynodontis, Alternaria brassicicola, A. solani and Aspergillus flavus. It also reduced conidial germination of E. pisi significantly, when applied as pre-inoculation treatment.
