Overview

This investigation demonstrates ginger's antifungal effectiveness, reducing root rot in Phaseolus vulgaris while enhancing plant growth.

Key Points

  • Ginger extracts showed 100% effectiveness against major root rot pathogens like Macrophomina phaseolina and Fusarium oxysporum.
  • In vivo tests indicated over 80% increase in root rot pathogen colonization with untreated seeds, highlighting ginger's role in disease control.
  • Agar well diffusion method outperformed disc diffusion in yielding larger inhibition zones against the targeted fungi.
  • Combining ginger with soil amendments significantly improved growth indices, with shoot length increasing by 38% and root weight by 41%.
