Abstract

Antifungal activity of the essential oils was studied against the strains of Aspergillus niger; A. parasiticus, A.
flavus, A. oryzae, A. fumigatus, Penicillium digitatum, Trichoderma Spp. and Helminthosporium oryzae by zone
inhibition method. These oils were also tested for their fungicidal/fungistatic activity.Varaibletoxicity was observed
against one or more of the test fungi. The essential oil of seed and gum portion of Ferulassafoetida exhibited
antifungal activity against all of the 8 test fungi.
