In the present study, in-vitro antifungal activity of various elicitors and binders were evaluated against Alternaria alternata, causative agent of early blight disease in Tomato. Antifungal activities were assayed by poison food technique. Among all elicitors and binders best optimum activity was observed for castor oil cake and cow dung 63.06% and 60 .95% respectively against Alternaria alternata. On the basis of results obtained, best active elicitor i.e., castor oil cake and binder cow dung can be used to develop the plant extract-based bio-formulation for effective control of leaf blight disease of Tomato in an eco-friendly manner.
