The study laid out following the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with the following Treatments Treatment 1-pure Jatropha curcas (physic nut) leaf extract, Treatment 250% of physic nut leaf extract, Treatment 3 25% of physic nut leaf extract, Treatment 4 Penicillin G and Streptomycin (in form of antibiotics). Each treatment was replicated three times.
