Abstract
In vitro antifungal activity of the ethanol, methanol and chloroform extracts of Hyophila rosea Williams were investigated against three fungal species namely Aspergillus flavus (Montagne) de Bary, Alternaria alternata (Fries) Keissler, and Phytophthora infestans (Montagne) de Bary using disc diffusion method. All the three extracts exhibited significant efficacy against fungi in comparison to the synthetic bifonazol. Chloroform extract showed maximum antifungal activity against P. infestans followed by A. flavus and A. alternata.
