Abstract
Antifungal potential of Ficus benghalensis L. was evaluated against Macrophamina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid., causal agent of charcoal rot in many plant species. Leaf extract of F. benghalensis exhibited strong antifungal activity. Methanolic leaf extract was portioned among n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. Different concentration of fungicide Metalaxyl+Mancozeb and organic fractions (1000-1.95 mg mL^-1) were assessed by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay against M. phaseolina. n-butanol fraction and fungicide were found the most effective with 1.95 mg mL^-1 MIC.
