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.
