The anthelmintic activity was screened with the Earth worm (Eicinia fetida) by the time for paralysis and death of worms. The results revealed that the formulation showed effective inhibitory action against Aspergillus niger (30mm), Escherichia coli (25mm), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (21mm) and significant Anthelmintic effects were observed on earth worm within 13 minutes for paralysis and complete death within 30 minutes at 300mg/ml concentration of formulation.
