Evaluation of Leaf and Root Extracts of Abutilon Indicum Linn. for Antifungal Activity against Some. Pathogenic Fungi

Weeds are important plants and play an significant role in the field of medicine. Weeds are useless by the view of economy but many plants shows antifungal activity against the pathogenic fungi. In present study the Abutilon indicum a weed plant is evaluated for its antifungal activity against some pathogenic fungi. The effect of aqueous and ethanolic extract of leaf and root of Abutilon indicum were applied against Alternaria alternata, Trichoderma korigii, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium spp.The extract were applied at 100 g ml 300 g ml and 500 g ml. on the fungi and the inhibition has been recorded as the diameter of mycelial growth using well diffusion method. The ethanolic leaf extract showed excellent antimycotic activity as compared to aqueous extract. Compared with control the plant extra performed better at 300 g ml. in fungi culture plates and give promising results by significantly reducing the mycelial growth.
