Abstract

Carotenoid estimation of healthy and diseased plant of eucalyptus was done. The results shows that the infection of plant with kirramycesepicoccoides causes reduction in the carotenoid content. The carotenoid cantent for all the three samples of infected leaves ranges from 0.17 ± 0.01mg/gm.fr.wt., 0.19 ± 0.01 and 0.18 ± 0.02. But the healthy leaf sample show high carotenoid content. Results observed that carotenoid ranges from 0.34 ± 0.02 to 0.39 ± 0.01 mg/gm.fr.wt. and 0.39 ± 0.02 mg/gm.fr.wt. for healthy leaves of Eucalyptus plants.
