ABSTRACT

The goal of the present study was to assess the antimicrobial properties of leaf extracts of Parthenium hysterophorus using the agar well diffusion method against some plant pathogens. In the current investigation, the results illustrate that the leaf extracts of Parthenium hysterophorus exhibit a wide range of antimicrobial activity and can potentially be used as an alternative to chemical pesticides. This is the first complete study to report on antimicrobial effects of Parthenium hysterophorus against some selected plant pathogens with a view of searching a novel extracts to use as an alternative to chemical pesticides for sustainable agriculture production.

Keywords: Parthenium hysterophorus, Antimicrobial, Leaf Extract.
