Onion (Allium cepa L), a popular vegetable all over the world, has
great economic importance due to its medicinal as well as dietetic
values. Basal rot disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae
is one of the most destructive soil-borne diseases of onion that
causes important yield losses in all growing areas of the world.
The causal organism infects the basal stem plate of the bulb and
eventually kills the entire plant through degradation of the basal
plate. Synthetic pesticides are generally used to combat this
menace. However, these agro-chemicals are responsible for toxic
residues and the development of resistance in pathogens. Many
recent studies show that natural compounds of plants can be used as
alternative to synthetic chemicals for the management of plant
diseases. The present study was, therefore, designed to evaluate
the antifungal potential of Chenopodium album for the management of
F. oxysporum f. sp. cepae. This book is especially useful for those
who are interested in organic farming.
