This study investigated the antifungal potential of Baobab and Lantana camara leave and root (aqueous, ethanol and methanol extracts), 40g, 60g and 80g/250mL where evaluated for radial growth inhibition of Fusarium oxysporium. Mancozeb and sterile distilled water served as positive and negative controls and was laid out in Completely Randomize Design (CRD). Two vertical lines were drawn below each petri-dishes, dividing each dish into four equal sections. A 5mm piece of a 7-day-old FOL culture was inoculated at the center of each petri dish using a sterile 5mm cork borer. The petri dishes were then incubated at 28 ± 2°C for six days, during which data on radial growth inhibition was collected. Results showed that 80g/250ml ethanol recorded the lowest (13.67mm) radial growth and was statistically comparable to mancozeb that recorded lower (12.67mm) at 6 DAI which were better than other treatments and the negative control that recorded the highest radial growth (55.67%). Similar trend was observed under lantana methanol root extract at 80g/250ml concentration recording lower radial growth (8.67%) statistically similar to the mancozeb that recorded the lowest (7.00%) percent radial growth related to negative control that recorded the highest (51.33%) radial growth at 6 DAI. The study highlights the significance of the solvent choice and concentration as antifungal efficacy. These findings suggests that Baobab and Lantana plant extracts have potential as eco-friendly alternative for managing tomato Fusarium wilt. The optimal solvent and concentration combination can be exploited for developing novel sustainable antifungal agents.
