Sunflower is one of the four major oilseed crops produced in the
world. The sunflower oil is preferred over other vegetable oil
because of its specific characteristics as it is very easy to
refine, has good digestibility, and low level of cholesterol and
saturated fats. The yield of this valuable crop is decreasing
tremendously due to charcoal rot disease caused by Macrophomina
phaseolina. Synthetic chemicals are being used to control the
fungal diseases. However, increasing public concern on
environmental issues requires alternative disease management
systems, which are based on naturally occurring compounds. The
present study was designed to evaluate antifungal activity of three
Chenopodium species viz. C. album, C. murale and C. ambrosioides
against M. phaseolina. All the parts of the selected Chenopodium
species exhibited promising antifungal activity against the noxious
charcoal rot pathogen. This book is very useful for those
researchers who are in search of naturally occurring environment
friendly compounds for the management of plant diseases.
