Abstract

The use of fungicides plays an important role in controlling plant diseases caused by Fusarium. However, the development of environment friendly fungicides is considered more effective, which used the plant secondary metabolites. This study aims to find the latest alternative fungicides using Psidium Cattleianum Afzel plant extract, ex Sabine from the collection of the "Eka Karya" LIPI-Bali Botanical Garden, which can inhibit the growth of F. solani and to find the minimum dose of the plant extract in inhibiting growth of F. solani. The method used was early screening of plant and fungi, medium preparation for fusarium and minimum dose analyze. This study found that based on 19 plants tested, Psidium cattleianum proved effective in inhibiting the F. solani.  Further testing of psidium plants was carried out by looking at the minimum dose of inhibition against fusarium. The inhibition zone contained in the 1% treatment was greater than the concentrations of 0.75%, 0.50% and 0.25%. The research was continued at a concentration reduction of 0.20-0.005% with the results showing that a concentration of 0.20% to a concentration of 0.05% resulted in a moderate inhibition zone of 8 mm to 9.2 mm. Therefore, it can be concluded that the concentration of 1% is the concentration with the minimum dose of Psidium cattleianum in inhibiting the growth of the fungus Fusarium solani.

Abstract

Sustained stress is risked for the emergence of various diseases including disability to depression. Clinically, antidepressant drugs are still the main option even though they are known have side effects for users. Therefore, various types of drug plants that have the potential as natural antidepressants have begun to be used, one of them is the young leaf of mango (Mangifera indica). It is known contains various bioactive compounds, including mangiferin which is useful as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and plays a role in protecting nervous tissue. This study aimed to determine the effect of Mango’s young leaves extract of Arumanis cultivar as an antidepressant in zebrafish (Danio rerio) exposed to Unpredictable Chronic Stress (UCS). The method used is Completely Randomized Design (CRD) which consists of 3 treatments, namely K (Aquadest); P1 (extract concentration 10µg/mL); and P2 (extract concentration 20µg/mL). The parameters include the antioxidant activity and behavioral tests, namely new tank diving and light/dark preferences. The results showed that exposure to UCS tends to increased anxiety as indicated by a decrease in exploration on behavioral test. The data showed that the Mango’s young leaves extract induction with a concentration of 20µg/mL obtained the highest value percentage in the exploration of the upper area (36.8 s) and the preference of the bright area (90.8 s) significantly. The induction of mango’s young leaves extract has the potential as an antidepressant in zebrafish exposed to UCS with an optimal concentration of 20µg/ml.
