Abstract

This study was mainly focused on antifungal activity ofselected seven plant species viz. A. indica, A. vasica, A. sessilis, C.hirsutus, M. parvifolia, P. paniculata, and T. bellirica. The present study is concluded as follows: Our investigations on the phytochemical analysis of selected plant extracts have revealed presence of organic compounds & their other constituents. These compounds are valuable sources of biologically active molecules including antifungal compounds. These compounds are found to beeffective against C. capsici. Hence, plant extracts can be used for controlling the pre- & postharvest pathogens of different horticulture crops. In this study, aqueous, ethanolic, and methanolic and hexane solvent were selected for the plant extractions. Ethanolic extracts were found tobe more effectiveagainst the C. capsici than aqueous, hexane and methanol extract.
