Abstract

Isolation of fungi was carried out from groundnut (arachais hypogae) seeds, and two fungi was isolated, Aspergillus spp and Rhizopus stolonifer. Proximate analysis of Ocimum gratissimum was carried out with moisture content of 9.32 , ash content of 10.90, nitrogen content of 3.78 and protein content of 22.03. Aqueous and Ethanolic extract of scent leaf ( Ocimum Gratissimum) was obtained and tested on the fungi isolates and Rhizopus stolonifer associated with groundnut was inhibited by aqueous and Ethanolic extracts of Ocimum Gratissimum while both aqueous and Ethanolic extracts of the plant did not show any activity against Aspergillus Niger associated with groundnut.
