Abstract

Weed plants, often misunderstood and marginalized as mere pests hold a wealth of untapped potential that extends beyond their invasive tendencies. Ageratum conyzoides, Eupatorium odoratum and Mikania micrantha are members of Asteraceae, which is an exceedingly large and widespread family of some common well-known weeds. Phytochemicals are secondary metabolites and are known to exert a profound influence on various activities of plants. Methanolic extract of the plants revealed the presence of major phytochemicals in all of them. Although E. odoratumand M. micrantha proved to be equally potent in inhibiting the test strains, E. odoratum showed activity against both bacteria and fungi while M. micrantha showed only antibacterial activity. A. conyzoides exhibited a lower inhibitory potential but exhibited both antibacterial and antifungal activities
