  • Abstract:
  • A bioassay was conducted to determine the potential of organic and inorganic solvents for antifungal activity against fungal pathogens. Among the organics were ethanol and methanol, whereas, aqueous was considered as the inorganic solvent for the bioassay. Extracts from leaf, shoot, and flowers were taken of Nerium indicum for the experiment. These extracts were tested against two fungal pathogens isolated from the medicinal plant Aegle marmelos. Alternaria and Fusarium species were the tested fungal isolates. Among the three solvents analyzed, ethanol showed higher antifungal activity compared to methanol and aqueous. However, all three solvents showed positive results against the isolated fungal genera. Aqueous showed the lowest effect compared to the three solvents. The zone of inhibition was measured for evaluations. Commercial fungicide fluconazole was considered as a control for comparative evaluations.
