An allosecurinine alkaloid was assayed against spore germination of some saprophytic and pathogenic fungi e.g., Alternaria alternata, A. solani, A. brassicicola, A. brassicae, Curvularia lunata, C. pallescens, C. maculans, Curvularia species, Colletotrichum species, C. musae, C. gloeosporioides, Erysiphe pisi, Fusarium udum, Helminthosporium echinoclova, H. pennisetti, H. spiciferum, and Heterosporium sp. It inhibited mild spore germination of all the fungi tested. Curvularia lunata, Curvularia sp., Collectotrichum sp., C. musae and Heterosporium sp. were most sensitive as complete inhibition of spore germination was observed at very low concentrations.
