<p>This study was undertaken to investigate the antifungal activities of aqueous and ethanol extracts of Securideca longepedunculata leaves and root bark against two Aspergillus species (Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus). Agar incorporation method was used for antifungal testing. The results of phytochemical screening demonstrated the presence of flavonoid, saponin, alkaloids, cardiac glycoside and saponins glycosides. Highest growth inhibition (1.16+1.15mm) at 300 mg/ml, (1.67+2.88mm) and higher increase (3.16+0.57mm) at 100 mg/ml were observed. The results showed significant effect (p</p>
