Abstract

Experiments were carried out to evaluate the antifungal potential of aqueous extracts of leaves, bark, seeds and fruits of Syzygium cumini against two important fungal plant pathogens, Alternaria alternata and Fusarium oxysporum. Results revealed that among various plant parts, aqueous extract of fruit was most effective against the growth of F. oxysporum as compared to other extracts whereas, the aqueous extract of bark showed potential to inhibit the growth of A. alternata. Leaves extract were not found much effective against the both test organisms.
