The best inhibitory effect was elicited by aqueous extract against C. bonininse and C. acutatum (82.3% radial growth inhibition), while crude ethanol extract showed the least significant effect 61.62%. Aqueous extract showed the best inhibitory effect against X. vesicatoria the inhibition zone was 30mm followed by P. syringae and R. solanacearum (26.5 and 23.5 mm respectively).
