Discussion And Conclusion Bacterial disease of agricultural crop poses a great challenge while the currently used chemicals are less effective and of a great environmental concern. In vitro evaluation of plants for antimicrobial properties is a step toward achieving the goal of developing food production strategies. Inhibitory effects were obtained against E. carotovora from screened aqueous extracts of five plants in this study has been reported (Afolayan, et al; 2006). Significant differences in the levels of effectiveness exhibited among various concentrations of plant extracts may be as a result of toxicity of different extracts which may be due to their solubility in water.
