In the present study in vitro antifungal activity of various elicitors and binders were evaluated against Curvularia lunata caused leaf spot disease maize. Antifungal activities were assayed by poison food technique. Among the all Elicitors and all binders best optimum activity was observed for clove bud oil cake and cow dung i.e. 51 % and 33.88 % respectively against Curvularia lunata. On the basis of results obtained, best active elicitor i.e. clove bud oil cake and binder i.e. cow dung can be used to develop the plant extract based bio-formulation for effective control of leaf spot disease of maize in an eco-friendly manner.
