The in vitro antimierobial activity of root oil of C. orchioides were studied against human pathogenic bacteria and phytopathogenic fungi by comparing the results with standard microbial susceptibility testing biodises. The oil of C. orchioides in case of bacteria shows significant activity against Bacillus anthracis, B. subtilis, Salmonella pullorum, S. newport , and Staph. aureus . While in case of fungi root oil had excellent activity against Fusarium monili forme, F. solani, Asprgullus flavus and Cladosporium and shows significant activity against all other tested fungi.
