Wats. cv. Praman exhibited the strongest activity, completely inhibiting the mycelial growth of the test fungi Microsporum gypseum (Bodin) Guiart and Grigoraki and Trichophyton mentagrophytes (Robin.) Blanchard. The volatile oil distilled from the fresh leaves was found to be fungicidal at its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 200 μg/ml, inhibiting heavy inocula of the test fungi. During testing of its fungitoxic spectrum, it also inhibited mycelial growth of three other fungi and was found to be more active than some commercial drugs tested. References 1 F. Beye, Plant Res.
