Abstract

In the present study, amla leaves have been investigated for antifungal potential against two namely Alternaria alternata and Bipolaris spicifera. Inhibitory potential of extract of the plant was analyzed by poisoned food technique in which different concentrations of test material were prepared in sterilized potato dextrose agar. Results of the investigation revealed that Embilica officinalis has potential activity against both the test pathogens with IC₅₀ value of 1±0.02 mg/ and 0.95±0.019 mg/ against Alternaria alternata and Bipolaris spicifera respectively. To conclude, leaves of amla possess potential antifungal activity and may be used as a resource of in pesticide and food industry.
