Objective: The present study was aimed at evaluating the In vitro antimicrobial activity of few\udIndian medicinal plants H. tiliaceus L., N.arbortristis Linn, S. rhombifolia Linn., T. procumbens\udLinn methanolic extracts against A. alternata, A. flavus, A. niger, M. phaseolina, R. solani using\udagar well diffusion technique. Methods: Soxhlet extraction method was used to get the extracts of\udmethanol. The length of zone of inhibition was measured in millimeters from the edge of the well\udto the edge of the inhibition zone. Results: It showed zero results with H. tiliaceous, N. arbortristis\udwith all three 100, 300, 500 mg/ml DMSO concentrations. Conclusions: Various medical plants\udhave been used for years in daily life to treat disease all over the world throughout the history of\udmankind. Plant Species H. tiliaceous and N. arbortristis may not be useful in controlling diseases\udagainst A. alternata, A. flavus, A. niger, M. phaseolina, R. solani. This study give an idea to avoid\udwork of activity of these medicinal plants extracts on mentioned fungal for screening
