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.
