Fungitoxic effects of plantain ash on rot development in yam minisetts and cassava ministems.

Ash from the rachis of plantain (Musa sp.) inflorescences was evaluated for its fungitoxicity against the yam and cassava pathogens, Sclerotium rolfsii [Corticium rolfsii], Botryodiplodia theobromae, Penicillium oxalicum and Trichoderma longibrachiatum. The growth and spore germination of all 4 fungi were completely inhibited at a 0.1 g/ml concentration. The ash also significantly reduced rot of yam (Dioscorea alata cvs. TDa 85/0236, 85/0257, 291 and 297) minisetts and cassava (Manihot esculenta cvs. TMS 30001, 50395 and 91934) ministems at concentrations of 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15 g/ml.
