Abstract
The antifungal activity of leaf extracts of plants of Azadirachta indica, Vitex negundo, Eupatorium birmanicum, Centella asiatica, Ageratum conyzoides,Gynura angulosa , Adhatoda vasica and Mentha aravensis was investigated for the control of fruit rot pathogen of Pineapple (Aspergillus niger) at different concentrations ( 5,10,15 and 20 %). At 20 % concentration , the maximum inhibition of the growth of the fungus was observed with the extracts of Eupatorium birmanicum, followed by the extracts of Vitex negundo. The minimum inhibition rate of the fungus was found in the leaf extracts of Adhatoda vasica at all the level of concentrations.
