Abstract

Algae are considered a natural rich source of bioactive metabolites; it has natural antifungal properties which can limit the chemical fungicide. Algae contain a variety of bioactive substances, such as gibberellin, auxin, cytokinin, ethylene, abscisic acid, and jasminec acid, which are significant regulators of plant growth. Present study deals with the analyzing the antifungal properties of selected algae Chara grovesii, Cladophora callicoma and Hydrodiction reticulatum it revealed that maximum algae indicated positive results.
