Abstract
Antifungal agents are one of the efficient categories of drugs that so far well developed for improving animal and human health.Due to the increasing rate of resistance of Aspergillus flai'us to the commonly used antifungal agent, plant extracts are of new interest as antiseptics and antimicrobial agents in the field of medicine and agriculture.The antifungal agents made from local herbs have various advantages such as they are biodegradable in nature, do not cause effect on non target species, cost less and less toxic compared to the synthetic antifungal agents.Hence, this study aims to identify potential local herbs (Pandanus amarvilifolius, Zingiber officinale and Allium sativum) that can inhibit the growth of A. flavus and then obtain the crude extract from selected local herbs to screen for its antifungal activity against A. flavus.The screening of antifungal activity of selected local herbs crude extract in methanol against A. flavus was performed by agar dilution method.They had been tested against A. flavus.Result showed methanol crude extract of Zingiber officinale and Pandanus amaryllifolius at 1.2% concentration retard the mycelia growth on A. flavus.The methanol crude extract of Allium sativum did not showed growth retardation at any concentration used.
