Abstract:
This project focused on antifungal activity of Neolamarckia cadamba leaf extract in order to
evaluate the effect of aqueous and ethanol extracts from white kelampayan leaf against the most
important phytopathogenic fungi, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Fusarium solani by
poisoned food technique. Different concentrations (5, 15, 25, 50 and 100 mglml) prepared from
these extracts was inhibited the growth of the experimental fungi and the effect inconsistent with
concentration. In the solvent extracts tested, aqueous and ethanol leaf extract gave the highest
percentage of inhibition against Aspergillus niger followed by Fusarium solani and Aspergillus
flavus. However, aqueous leaf extract have higher percentage of growth inhibition with 31-45%
compared to ethanol leaf extract for all experimental fungi. The different concentration of aqueous
and ethanol leaf extract have showed inconsistent percentage of growth of inhibition for all
experimental fungi which it was slightly not effective in antifungal activity of N. cadamba.
