Effect of Aqueous Neem Leaf Extracts in Controlling <i>Fusarium</i> Wilt, Soil Physicochemical Properties and Growth Performance of Banana (<i>Musa</i> spp.)

Neem leaf extracts (NLEs) have frequently been used to inhibit plant diseases and for the development of bio-fertilizer, leading to the commercial exploitation of this tree. However, previous studies have indicated contradictory outcomes when NLE was used as an antifungal disease treatment and bio-f...
