Abstract (2. Language): 
To Study in vitro effect of Panchagavya on soil born plant pathogen Fusarium Oxysporum. Panchagavya is the formulation of five Cow products such as Cow urine, Dung, Curd, Ghee and Milk. The formulation of Panchagavya was prepared by the method of Pathak et.al., (2007). The formulation was incubated at room temperature for 10 days and further used in vitro antifungal activity against test pathogen Fusarium Oxysporum. Firstly isolated and cultivated pure culture of Fusarium Oxysporum in the plates. Then transfer of graded doses of Panchagavya 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 percentage w/v was added in to the potato dextrose agar plates and transfer of point inoculation of pure culture fusarium oxysporum in to the plates observe the results after 7 days. The antifungal activity was studied adopting the food poisoned technique method using Fusarium Oxysporum as a test pathogen. It was observed Panchagavya were able to suppress the growth of Fusarium Oxysporum. However, in the plate without Panchagavya (control). There was significant development in the growth of Fusarium Oxysporum, on the basis of plate observation followed by incubation among all the replicates the superior antifungal activity of Panchagavya was recorded in the plate of 4 percentage w/v Panchagavya. Followed 2, 6, 8, and 10 percentage w/v Panchagavya treatment as compare to control. The result on the present study indicated the antifungal activity of Panchagavya against test plant pathogen Fusarium Oxysporum. The result obtain in percentage study suggested as a distinct practical possibility that judicious utilization of Panchagavya would help in plant protection which may minimized the use of Chemical Fertilizer in agro practices and may prevent the biomagnification hazards and Panchagavya is a natural and ecofriendly product it helps in plant protection against soil born pathogens.
