Abstract (2. Language): 
Antifungal activity of aqueous extract of Picrorhiza kurroa (Rhizome) showed complete inhibition of Fusarium graminearum at 100% concentration, Aspergillus flavus at 80% concentration, A. terreus at 100% concentration, Curvularia lunata at 100% concentration, Alternaria alternata at 100% concentration and Cladosporium cladosporides at 80% concentration. Maximum inhibition of F. oxysporum, A niger, Penicillium sp and Drechslera halodes showed upto 75 to 93% inhibition tested at 70 to 100 percent concentration of P. kurroa rhizome extract. All the test fungi were compared with synthetic fungicides viz., Dithane M 45 and Thiram at recommended concentration of 2% and recorded 100% inhibition against all the test fungi.
