An agar plug (5 mm diameter) cut from edges of 5-day-old solid cultures of R. solani was placed upside down on the center of each plate, the plates sealed with parafilm, and incubated under constant light at 24 ± 2 °C for four days. The diameter of the mycelial covered area was measured daily. Control plates containing only PDA medium or PDA medium and DMSO were prepared and incubated similarly. Each assay was repeated at least twice, in triplicate.
