• Aspergillus niger
• 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid
• 2,4-Bis(1,1-dimethyl)
• bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester
• Cinnamic acid
• Coriandrum sativum
• GCMS
• Mentha Piperita
• Ovidin A
• Phenol
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa
• Spinacia oleracea
• Trigonella foenum-graecum

We investigated the antimicrobial properties of leaf extracts of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), coriander (Coriandrum sativum), mint (Mentha Piperita), and spinach (Spinacia oleracea) against the phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria i.e. Aspergillus niger and Pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively. The phytochemical analysis of these leaf extracts showed presence of total phenolics and flavonoids. GCMS analysis identified the antimicrobial molecules in leaf extracts as phenol, 2,4-Bis (1,1-dimethyl), phenol, gallic acid, cinnamic acid, kaempferol-3-o-rutinoside and other compounds. The main phenolics (Phenol, 2,4-Bis(1,1-dimethyl), Ovidin A, 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester, Cinnamic acid etc) showed antifungal activity at two concentrations (10mg/ml & 50mg/ml) and MIC was determined. More research is required to develop these phenolics as ecofreindly fungicides to control plants disease.
