Abstract

Objective: The present study was aimed at evaluating the In vitro antimicrobial activity of few Indian medicinal plants H. tiliaceus L., N.arbortristis Linn, S. rhombifolia Linn., T. procumbens Linn methanolic extracts against A. alternata, A. flavus, A. niger, M. phaseolina, R. solani using agar well diffusion technique. Methods: Soxhlet extraction method was used to get the extracts of methanol. The length of zone of inhibition was measured in millimeters from the edge of the well to the edge of the inhibition zone. Results: It showed zero results with H. tiliaceous, N. arbortristis with all three 100, 300, 500 mg/ml DMSO concentrations. Conclusions: Various medical plants have been used for years in daily life to treat disease all over the world throughout the history of mankind. Plant Species H. tiliaceous and N. arbortristis may not be useful in controlling diseases against A. alternata, A. flavus, A. niger, M. phaseolina, R. solani. This study give an idea to avoid work of activity of these medicinal plants extracts on mentioned fungal for screening
