ABSTRACT
The present investigation reported on antifungal activity of five
hydroxytriazenes, a Schiff’s base and their ternary complexes of Zinc
(II) against Curvularia lunata and Helminthosporium turcicum. The
fungi Curvularia lunata causing disease in leaf spots and seedling
blight. It is also seen on castor beans, cotton, rice, barley, wheat, corn
and the fungi Helminthosporium turcicum seen on Leaf Blight in corn
and characterized by large cigar shaped necrotic lesions that develop
on the leaves. The results have been expressed as percentage
inhibition (PI) of mycelial growth as well as sclerotium formation at
100 ppm for ligands as well as zinc (II) ternary complexes. The results
show that PI value in hydroxytriazenes and their complexes are very
high. The results have been interpreted in terms of theory of drug
action proposed by Paton.
Keywords: Schiff’s base, castor beans, cotton, rice, barley.
