Abstract: Oil extracted from neem (Azadirachta indica) seeds collected from five different localities of Pakistan was evaluated for their efficacy against three fungi viz., Fusarium moniliforme, Macrophomina phaseolina and Rhizoctonia solani. The neem oil sample from Karachi was the best among all the samples in checking the growth of Macrophomina phaseolina and Rhizoctonia solani @ 0.1% concentration compared to those from other localities.
