The parameters of this study were Pyricularia oryzae (Pathogen of rice blast) and Solanum torvum’s crude extract. The methodology used in this study was in vitro control of rice blast pathogen, Pyricularia oryzae by conducting poisoned food technique. Pure culture of Pyricularia oryzae was sub cultured on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA). The sub cultured pathogen were transferred on the crude extract of Solanum torvum and after 5 days, the diameter of Pyricularia oryzae grown on crude extract can be measured. From this study, the results obtained show that both leaf and fruit extract of Solanum torvum is effective in controlling rice blast. This can be proven by comparing the diameter of Pyricularia oryzae grown on PDA amended with fruit and leaf extract with the negative control.
