ABSTRACT: Development of more effective and less toxic antifungal agents is required for the treatment of various fungal disease.Plants and their extraction preparation have beenused as medicine against infectious diseases.The present study was aimed to study, the antifungal activity of the seeds of various seed abstract of plant Malva Parviflora (Linn). The antifungal activity of seeds extract of plant was determine by using agar well diffusion method,MIC(minimum inhibitoryconcentration) and MFC (minimum fungicidal count)by using micro dilution method . The seeds extract of the plant were examined using Methanol, Ethyl acetate ,Petroleum ether and water as solvent and tested against different fungi pathogens. From the result it can be concluded that the all the seeds extract shows the significant activity against the micro organism, hence these extract may be used as a source of antifungal agent obtained from herbal medicine and may be explore as new and effective antifungal agent. Various solvent extracts of the plant Malva parvifiora (Linn) have been found to possess enough antibacterial activity and may potentially be explored as human antifungal agent.
