Abstract: Different methods were applied on Neem and Karanj oils; their Copper (II) soaps and also their Copper (II) soaps benzothiazole complexes to study their comparative fungicidal study. To find the biological activity different methods were used i.e. Antifungal Disk Diffusion Susceptibility Testing of Yeasts; approved Guideline (M 44-A, NCCLS, USA) and antifungal testing of Alternaria alternata suggested by Booth and Hawks worth. The testing was done on two species of Candida i.e. C.albicans and C.krusei. Antimicrobial disks used were Fluconazole, Amphotericin, Clotrimazole and Ketoconazole. These antimicrobial disks were used as standard, as the strains of Candida albicans and Candida krusei are susceptible to them. The diameter of zones of testing disks was compared with the zone diameter of these standards antimicrobial agents.
