Abstract
On assaying different parts of Iberis amara L. (Cruciferae) for their fungitoxicity against Hel-minthosporium oryzae, flowers and seeds were found to possess strong toxicity. Seed extract was found to be fungicidal at the minimum inhibitory concentration (2%), remained active up to 35 days, and exhibited a broad range of activity and non-phytotoxicity. The fungitoxicity of the seeds was thermostable up to 120°C, remained active up to 9 months at room temperature but declined on autoclaving.Keywords
