Abstract
A simple and rapid technique is reported for the preliminary screening of fungi-toxic extracts/samples by direct spotting onto silica gel pl ates and subsequent over-spraying with a fungal spore suspension. Afte r incubation fungi-toxicity is indicated by a growth inhibition zone, the area of which is related to the concentration of the sample.
