        abstract = {Stem canker and leaf spot are the common diseases of Sunflower plant caused by Diaporthe sp. Nowadays, management of this disease is done by chemical (synthetic) fungicide which is very harmful for environment. This is the reason why various scientists research for the development of natural fungicides. The present study was carried out to investigate the natural fungicidal potential of various parts (leaves, stem-bark, seeds, and fruits) of Syzygium cumini against the tested fungal pathogen. Aqueous extracts of leaves, stem-bark, seeds, and fruits of S. cumini were prepared and were evaluated for their fungicidal potential in-vitro. Data were analyzed by Tukey HSD test at 5% level of significance. Aqueous extracts showed variable degree of fungicidal potential. In general, aqueous fruit extracts exhibited the highest fungicidal effect against mycelial growth of the tested fungal pathogen followed by seed and leaves. In contrast, our study indicates that stem-bark extracts promotes the mycelial growth of test fungi. Among the various extracts, fruit extracts showed the best fungicidal potential against Diaporthe sp},
