Abstract
The presence of antifungal compounds in higher
plants has recocgnised as an important factor of disease resistance. The
tropical and sub-tropical flora, like Indian flora, is rich source of
biologically active compounds which exhibit antimicrobial and other biological
properties. Plant parts and their constituents have proved their fruitifulness
in providing less phytotoxic, more systemic,easily biodegradable and host
metabolism stimulatory pesticides. In the present study, 28 fungi were isolated
from roots of Pisum sativum and the Fusarium oxysporum found to
be most dominant. Aqueous extract of different of 37 plant species belonging to
different families have been tested for antifungal activity against doninant
fungal species by “Poisoned food technique” of Grover and Moore., the leaf
extract of Lantana indica showed highest mycelial growth inhibition
against different fungi (100%) and Cassia tora showed lowest(13.25%) mycelial
growth inhibition.
