Key Points
Ethanolic extract of nostoc commune reduced mycelial expansion by 45% against fusarium oxysporum, emphasizing its antifungal potential.
Sico® completely inhibited growth at 100%, while nostoc commune showed a notable 45% reduction at 4000 ppm in the Kirby–Bauer assay.
Gas chromatography identified forty-two compounds from nostoc commune, contributing to observed antifungal activity.
Optimizing cultivation methods may enhance nostoc commune's effectiveness as a biocontrol agent, offering an eco-friendly alternative to chemical fungicides.
