Abstract
The aqueous extracts of Azadirachta indica, Trigonella foenum graecum, Allium sativum, Cinnamomum tamala, Capsicum annum were used to test their antifungal properties against the keratinophilic fungus Microsporum gypseum. Plant aqueous extracts were taken at two different concentrations of 5% and 10%. The present study revealed that Allium sativum and Capsicum annum at 10% conc. had more potent antifungal potential as compared to all the other extracts followed by Azadirachta indica, Trigonella foenum graecum and Cinnamomum tamala.

The present study revealed that Allium sativum and Capsicum annum at 10% conc. had more potent antifungal potential as compared to all the other extracts followed by Azadirachta indica, Trigonella foenum graecum and Cinnamomum tamala
It has been observed that of all the extracts used in the present study, maximum fungal growth inhibition was achieved by the aqueous extract from the bulbs of Allium sativum and no fungal growth was recorded at 10% concentration and a minimum growth was recorded at 5% concentration
Summary
The aqueous extracts of Azadirachta indica, Trigonella foenum graecum, Allium sativum, Cinnamomum tamala, Capsicum annum were used to test their antifungal properties against the keratinophilic fungus Microsporum gypseum. The ethanolic extract of leaves of Aloe vera, Anacardium occidentale, Azadirachta indica, Jatropha curcas, and Jatropha gossypifolia showed very high activity against T. mentagrophytes and T. rubrum at the concentration of 2,5,10 mg per litre. This is evident from the above that ethanol has the ability to extract the phytochemical 5. The effect aqueous extracts at two different concentrations (5% and 10%) of Azadirachta indica, Trigonella foenum graecum, Allium sativum, Cinnamomum tamala, Capsicum annum were used to test their antifungal properties against the keratinophilic fungus Microsporum gypseum
