Abstract: The present research work involved antifungal analysis of leaf aqueous extract of trees and plants of Myrtacea family. The aqueous extracts of Psidium guajava, Syzygium cumini, Aegle marmelos, Nyctanthes arbor-tristis, Callistemon lanceolatus, Citrus limonum, Combretum indicum, Calliandra haematocephala, Polyalthia longifolia were made from the leaves of the plants and were tested against a no. of plant pathogenic fungi namely, Alternaria alternata, Alternaria pori, Alternaria solani, Aspergillus Niger, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium crysogenum, Colletotrichum capsici.
The present In-vitro study demonstrated that extracts 80%conc.of aqueous extracts show maximum antifungal activity against Aspergillus Niger. Maximum all plant leaf extracts show maximum zone of inhibition but Aegle marmelos show maximum result against Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus Niger, & in 50% conc. Polyalthia longifolia show maximum antifungal against Alternaria alternata. Maximum 80% conc. of aqueous leaf extracts was found more effective compare to 50% conc.of aqueous extracts against Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus Niger.
Keywords: Medicinal plant, Antifungal activity, aqueous extracts, plant pathogens.
