TOXIC AND PHYTOTOXIC NATURE OF SOME NEW ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AGAINST FUNGI DETERIORATING STORED MOONG SEEDS (PHASEOLUS AUREUS ROXB.)

ARCHANA RATHORE AND NISHA MISRA

ABSTRACT: Three new organic compounds were tested for fungitoxkity against Aspergillus flavus Link, A. fumigatus (Eidam) Wint., A. niger V. Tiegh., A. parasiticus Speare, Cladosporium oxysporum Bark and Curt, Fusarium moniliforme Sheldon and Penicillium citrinum Thorn and for phytotoxicity. The Compound, 5-p-methoxyphenyl-2-p-ethoxyphenylthiocarbamoyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole exhibited fungicidal activity. It was non toxic to moong plants (Phaseolus aureus Roxb.) and also checked the appearance of fungi on the seeds.
