Abstract

The present study was design to evaluate the Mentha longifolia stem, flower and leaves infusion, decoction and hydroalcoholic extracts to determine the bioactive molecules and antifungal activities by zone of inhibition technique, Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) were assay by broth dilution technique and spore germination assay using Light Compound Microscope against plant pathogenic fungi (Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus parasiticus, Rhizoctonia solani and Alternaria alternata). The Mentha longifolia phytochemicals were found in the range flavonoids 3.8 - 2.4%, saponins were 5.6-3.4%, alkaloids 0.7-0.1% and total phenolic were 40-15 mg Gallic acid/g. The maximum zone of inhibition 23±1 mm and 22±1 mm were found by hydroalcoholic leaves extract against Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus parasiticus respectively. The MIC range of hydroalcoholic were 12.5-100 mg/mL, infusion were 25-100 mg/mL and decoction were 25-200 mg/mL. While MFC range of hydroalcoholic were 25-200 mg/mL, infusion were 50- 200 mg/mL and decoction were 50-200 mg/mL. Spore germination assay reaveled that increse in the extract concenetration decrese the spore germination. The results revealed that Mentha longifolia chemical composition might be build up as latent bio- fungicides against plant pathogenic fungi.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
