        abstract = {The antifungal properties of five medicinal plants Xanthium strumarium (L.), Lantana camara (L.), Cassia alata (L.), Caesealpina bonduc (L.), and Muntingia calabura (L.) which were extracted using water, dimethyl formamide, ethanol, acetone, isopropanol, and toluene were evaluated against several Fusarium species. At different concentrations, all of the extracts prevented mycellial proliferation. The best inhibition against a range of Fusarium was shown in water, ethanol, acetone, and isopropanol extracts of certain plants. For Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium graminearum, and Fusarium moniliformae, toluene and dimethyl formamide plant samples shown substantial suppression in all chosen plant extracts. The strongest inhibitory towards all Fusarium species was shown by the aqueous extract of Lantana camara (L.) and Xanthium strumarium (L.). The acetone extracts of Caesealpina bonduc (L.) and Lantana camara (L.) exhibited the strongest effectiveness against the Fusarium solani (132 µg/ml) and Fusarium pseudocircinatum (142 µg/ml) among the plant extracts.},
