Aerial parts of  Polystichum squarrosum  (Dryopteridaceae) collected from Kumaun Himalaya, India were assessed for antioxidant potential using the methanolic extract  in vitro  for DPPH free radical scavenging and ferric-reducing antioxidant assays. The DPPH assay exhibited potent free radical scavenging capacity (IC 50 , 6.03 ± 1.41 µg mL −1 ), as well as ferric-reducing antioxidant activity (886.2 mg AAE gm −1  dry extract). In the antibacterial activity tests, the methanolic extract inhibited the growth of  Klebsiella pneumoniae  (MIC 14 ± 0.57 mm) and  Agrobacterium tumefaciens  (MIC 12 ± 0.7 mm). Totally, 65 phytochemical compounds were identified using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Total phenolics (913.33 ± 39.23 mg GAE g −1  dry extract) and total flavonoid contents (30.0 ± 2.64 mg QE g −1  dry extract) were estimated qualitatively. These results demonstrated antioxidant and antimicrobial activities due to the presence of bioactive phytochemicals.
