Abstract

The crude methanolic extract of Syzygium cumini was investigated for anti-bacterial and insecticidal biological activity. The test sample showed good antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (20 mm), Staphylococcus aureus (19 mm) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (18 mm), respectively. The Sample showed significant zone of inhibition against Escherichia coli (25mm) and Salmonella typhi (22 mm), respectively. The test samples A, B and C showed good insecticidal activity against Tribolium castaneum (58%), Rhyzopertha Dominica (55%) and Callosbruchus analis (60%), respectively.
