- Abstract
In the present study, Fusarial species were isolated and idendified from the paddy field soil. The isolated Fusarium species susceptibility also analyzed against Adathoda vasika, Catharanthus roseus and Tridex procumbens. The phytochemical compounds such as Tannin, phlobatannin, Saponin, Steroid, Triterpenoid, Cardiacglycoside were analyzed in three plants. Triterpenoid, Saponin and Cardiacglycoside were present in all plants. The phytochemical compound such as alkaloid, phenol, tannin and saponin were quantitatively analyzed in three test plant. Antifusarial activity of different solvent extracts of three plants were analyzed against pathogenic Fusarium spp. Adathoda vasika has highest antifungal activity against Fusarium solani compared to other test plant. Tridex procumbens has high antifusarial activity in methanolic extracts. Catharanthus roseus has maximum antifusarial activity against Fusarium oxysporum compound than other test plants.
