The increasing incidence of drug-resistant pathogens and toxicity of existing antifungal compounds has drawn awareness towards the antifungal activity of natural products. Hence, in the current study we aimed to determine the antifungal activity of ethanolic extracts of leaf and stem of Coriandrum sativum. Ethanol (50%) was used for extraction of active principles from the dried powdered leaves and stem of Coriandrum sativum. The antifungal screening was done with three plant pathogens viz. Aspergillus fumigatus associated with Sorghum bicolor, Aspergillus niger and Fusarium sp., associated with Zea mays. In agar well diffusion assay Aspergillus niger and Fusarium was markedly affected by leaf and stem extracts of Coriander sativum but it was not effective in inhibiting the growth of Aspergillus fumigatus. The results obtained from this study would help in establishing the use of ethanolic extracts of leaf and stem parts of Coriander sativum to control plant diseases associated with Aspergillus niger and Fusarium as a safe alternative option to chemical fungicides.
