Phytochemical Analysis and Antifungal Activities of Azadiracta Indica Against Different Fungi Isolated From Infected Solanaceous Vegetable Fruits.

Abstract

Aqueous extracts of Azadiracta indica was subjected to invitro antifungal assay against different fungi, Fusarium oxysporum, Penicillium digitatum, Aspergillus niger, and Alternaria alternata. Plant leaves were effective against all the tested organisms. Leaf extract of Azadiracta indica contains pharmacologically active constituents that may be responsible for its activity against different fungi.The chemical constituents present in the neem plant makes it a doctor tree due to its wide scope in biological activities associated with it and has become a global context today. A qualitative phytochemical analysis was performed for the detection of seccondry plant metabolites viz, Alkaloids, Glycosides, Terpinoids, Steroids, Flavinoids, Tannins and reduing sugars.
