Abstract
ABSTRACT
Antifungal activity of methanol, ethanol and acetone extracts of Fagoniaarabica were studied against soil born fungi (Fusariumoxysporum and Rhizoctonia solani). Antifungal activity of plant extracts was performed using well plate method. Results indicated that all solvent extracts of Fagonia arabica exhibited strong antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum and weak activity against Rhizoctonia solani. Ethanol extract was the most effective against tested fungi with the least minimum inhibition concentration. Preliminary phytochemical screening of plant indicated the presence of various phytochemicals as phenolic acids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, alkaloids and steroids that could be used as antifungal agents against soil born fungi.
