Abstract

The different fractions of root of Achyranthus aspera were tested for Fusarium oxysporum species in the current research, and all separated fractions were analysed for phytochemical analysis. The antifungal activity of the ethanolic and ethyl acetate fractions against Fusarium oxysporum was highest. Alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and glycosides were found in ethyl acetate and ethanolic fractions of Achyranthus aspera root.
