Abstract

In vitro evaluation of  aqueous leaf extract of Cicer arietinum L. when tested against Aspergillus flavus was recorded 93.0%  inhibition at 50% concentration followed by Penicillium sp and recorded 91.3% inhibition. Fusarium oxysporum recorded moderate activity of 88.0% inhibition and Curvularia lunata showed 80.0% inhibition  and least inhibition was observed in Cladosporium cladosporioides and recorded 74.5% inhibition. Significant inhibition was also observed in 10, 20, 30 and 40% inhibition. Compared to synthetic fungicide, Dithane M 45 and Bavisin tested at 2% concentration recorded 100% inhibition in all the test fungi.
