During rainy season, when clothes are not properly dried they develop spots. In clothes the spots appear as black or greenish black in colour and these spots or mildews were cultured and microscopically examined. It was identified fungi, viz. Aspergillus niger, Penicillium sp and Mucor sp. Antifungal activity of Azadirachta indica, Eucalyptus globulus and Nicotiana tabaccum were screened. The antifungal activity was graded based on the zone of inhibition. Among the plants selected petroleum ether extract of A. indica exhibited the maximum growth inhibition, followed by E. globulus and N. tabacum.
