Abstract: Transition ferrocyanides were synthesized and characterized by IR spectra, magnetic susceptibility and XRD studies. The medicinal plants which contain natural antimicrobial properties such as Phyllanthus emblica, Psidium guajava, Jatropha gossypifolia, Mangifera indica were showed synergistic effect with transition metal ferrocyanides. These plant extracts with metal ferrocyanides complexes were found to be having more antifungal property in comparison to metal ferrocyanides and plants extract individual. Antifungal activities of medicinal plants and metal hexacyanoferrate (II) compounds were tested against Rhizoctonia solani causing black scurf in potato. Cadmium ferrocyanide with Phyllanthus emblica extract and nickel ferrocyanide with Mangifera indica extract complexes were found to have maximum and minimum antifungal property, respectively.
