Summary:Antifungal activity of the plant T. ammi (L.) Sprague, was carried out against fungi, A. niger, A. flavus, F. solani, A. alternata and Helminthosporium sp, as test organisms. Different parts of the plant were extracted in various solvents and zone of inhibition method was used to detect the fungi-toxic activity. Among all, particularly ethanol (95%) extract of the seeds was moderately effective against test fungi: benzene and pet ether extracts also showed some activity and root extracts in water, alcohol and acetone showed stimulating activity.
