Efektivitas Ekstrak Metanol Daun Salam (Eugenia Polyantha) Dan Daun Jeruk Purut (Cytrus Histrix) Sebagai Antijamur Pada Pertumbuhan Fusarium Oxysporum

Abstract

The Effectiveness of Methanol Extract of Bay Leaf(Eugenia polyantha) and Kaffir Lime Leaf (Cytrushistrix) as Antifungal on Growth of F. oxysporumEssential oils extracted from many plants have been investigated forbotanical pesticide source. There are several commercial pesticidescontaining essential oil. Kaffir lime containing citronella is known asantifungal material. Many research showed that bay leaf has antifungal andantibacterial activity. The objective of this research was to find out theeffect of metanol extracts of bay and kaffir lime leaves on F. oxysporumgrowth. The experiment was conducted from January to February 2008 atPhytopathology Laboratory of Indonesian Medicinal and Aromatic CropsResearch Institute (IMACRI). The experiment was consisted of 3activities : (1) Test of methanol extract of bay leaf and kaffir lime leaf onvegetative growth of F. oxysporum in solid media. Fungal colony diameterwas recorded each day. (2) Test of methanol extract of bay and kaffir limeleaves on generative growth of F. oxysporum in liquid media. Conidiaproduction and hifa weight were observed. (3) Test of methanol extract ofbay and kaffir lime leaves on inhabitation of conidia germination of F.oxysporum. The germination of conidia was observed at 0, 2, 4 hours aftertreatment. Experiment was designed using completely randomized designwith three replications. The result showed that methanol extract of bay leafinhibited the growth of F. oxysporum in solid media. The highest growthinhibition was 57.16% at 5% extract. In liquid media, methanol extract ofbay leaf decreased conidia production and hifa weight significantly.Methanol extract of bay leaf inhibited conidia germination. The percentageof inhibition of conidia germination was 84.67% at 3% extract. Methanolextract of Kaffir lime leaf inhibited the growth of F. oxysporumsignificantly. The percentage of inhibition was 95.6% at 5% extract. Inliquid media, methanol extract of kaffir lime leaf decreased conidiaproduction and hifa weight at all of concentration of extract. Methanolextract of kaffir lime leaf inhibited conidia germination. The percentage ofinhibition of conidia germination was 77.00% at 3% extract
