The five short chain fatty acids such as isobutyric (C-4), butyric (C-4), isovaleric (C-5), valeric (C-5) and caproic (C-6) acids obtained from the extract of common purslane showed wide antifungal spectra against spore germination and mycelial growth of the twenty five phytopathogenic fungi tested in vitro, although there were differences in antifungal potency among them. The antifungal potency of each fatty acid varied significantly against different fungi in spore germination and mycelial growth. The seventeen fungi used for spore germination test and the sixteen fungi used for mycelial growth test can be divided into three groups depending upon differences in minimal inhibitory concentration of each fatty acid for them, respectively
