Abstract

Ethanolic and aqueous suspensions of Onion (Allium cepa L.) and Garlic (Allium sativum L.) bulb extracts were screened for their anti-fungal activity using agar-well diffusion method against Fusarium solani and Pythium ultimum. The suspensions were tested at 10%, 40%, 70% and 100% concentrations. Various suspensions showed an inhibitory effect against tested fungal species. The highest zone of inhibition was estimated with the highest concentration of aqueous extract of Garlic against Fusarium solani (23 mm) and Pythium ultimum (24 mm). The other concentrations either ethanolic or aqueous showed various inhibitory effect on the tested fungal species.
