The ethanol extract of Psidium guajava and acetone extract of Carica papaya displayed inhibitory activities,
respectively. Few reports are available on these plants for developing commercial formulations for applications
against fungal pathogen. Previous study demonstrated that the acetone extracts of leaves of above plants showed
moderate to strong activity against Aspergillus niger, Fusarium sp. and Candida albicans [21], whereas we have
found that the ethanol extract of P. guajava showed strong inhibition at 15% concentration and acetone extract
of C. papaya were at 20% concentration against Fusarium sp., respectively. The results indicated that the two
plant extracts are good antifungal agents but P. guajava is more effective than C. papaya. It is therefore, encouraging
to identify and characterize the active principle of these two plants.
