Abstract

In vitro antifungal potential of the methanolic extract of bark of seven mangroves was assayed by employing the food poisoning method against plant pathogenic fungi Alternaria alternata and Fusarium moniliforme.   Among these barks the methanol extract of Agiceras corniculatum showed maximum inhibition (56%) of Alternaria alternata and extract of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza exhibited maximum inhibition (57%) of Fusarium moniliforme. The result of this study indicate that extract of mangrove bark have potent antifungal activity which is concentration dependent.
