Bacterial andfungal plant diseases affect virtually all crops of economic importance and aredifficult to control, resultingdevastating financial losses to farmers. The antimicrobial activity of eightfruit seed extract were tested against fourplant pathogens viz., Ralstonia solanacearum, Xanthomonascampestris, Phytophthora capsici and Pythium aphanidermatum byagar well diffusion method. Methanolic extract of Eugenia jambolana showedthe maximum inhibitory effect against X.campestris with theinhibitory zone of 34 mm, whereas the aqueous extract recorded aninhibition zone of 22 mm.
