“…To these end, resulting drugs should be generally accepted, cost effective and not produce any residual toxic components. Plants possess phytochemicals that are abundant, renewable, and environmentally safe, with antimicrobial properties that endear people to their uses [5].…”

Aims:The study was to screen the activities of nine medicinal plants against Aspergillus species isolated from stored cocoa bean seeds collected in Akure, Owo, Ondo, Ile-Oluji, Ikpenmen, and Oba-Akoko, all in Ondo State, Nigeria with a view to getting a potent, cheap antifungal plant that is easily available and capable of halting fungal infestation and subsequent mycotoxin production. Place and Duration:The study was carried out in Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko between July, 2014 to November, 2014. Methodology: Inhibitory activities of locally sourced plant parts were tested against nine Aspergillus species isolated from cocoa bean seeds from Ondo State, Nigeria. Methanolic extraction of the plant parts yielded crude extracts which were tested against the fungal species using the food poison method and filter disc methods.

“…Vast fields in developing countries are blessed with abundant plants with fungicidal potential with preparation and application attracting lower capital investment than synthetic fungicides (Anjorin and Salako, 2009). Rotimi and Moens (2003) reported that botanical pesticides are locally renewable, user-friendly and environmentally safe.…”

“…Rotimi and Moens (2003) reported that botanical pesticides are locally renewable, user-friendly and environmentally safe. The knowledge and technology involved in using botanicals is embedded in folklores and tradition of the farmers (Anjorin and Salako, 2009). Among several control strategies, natural control appears to be the most promising approach for the control of mycotoxins such as aflatoxin in post-harvested crops.…”

“…Some phytochemicals are injurious to fungi and could be used to protect crops, animals, humans, food and feeds against toxigenic fungi and mycotoxin (OMAF, 2004). Phytofungicides could be prepared or formulated from the leaves, seeds, stem bark or roots of plants of pesticidal significance and could be applied inform of extract, powders and cakes or as plant exudates (Owino and Wando, 1992;Anjorin and Salako, 2009). Phytochemicals vary in plants depending on their growing conditions, varietal differences, age at harvest, extraction methods, storage conditions and age of sample.…”

In Sub Saharan Africa, people utilised wild leafy vegetables and herbs in order to meet the daily recommended nutritional requirements for the betterment of health and general well being, In this study, seven wild leafy vegetables consumed in Katsina State, Nigeria were studied for their proximate analysis and mineral composition. B. salicifolia (Capparaceae), T. globiferus (Loranthaceae), F. glumosa (Moraceae), C. religiosa (Capparaceae), M. angolensis (Capparaceae), S.occidentalis (Fabaceae) and P.thonningii (Fabaceae), were evaluated using standard methods. The results showed that, Carbohydrates is the most abundant nutrient present in the selected plants. The crude protein ranged from 13.23– 9.33.% with F. .glumosa and B. salicifolia providing the highest amount. The elemental analysis in ppm/l revealed the presence of Iron, Calcium within recommended daily values and low level of heavy metals in all the samples. The selected plants may therefore be considered as viable and cheap sources of dietary nutrients and their incorporation in diets may be said to be scientifically justifiable..
