Water extracts obtained from whole plant were also screened for their antifungal activities against six phytopathogenic fungi including, Alternaria alttrnata, Botryodiplodia theobromae, Curvularia lunata, Colletotrichwn corchori, Fusarium equiseti, Macrophomina phaseolina. Both organic solvent and water extracts were found to be active against all the microbes tested and significant inhibition of microbial growth was also observed
