Phytochemicals are extensively found at different levels in many medicinal plants. This work had two objectives: The first, to evaluate the Total phenolic (TP) and Total flavanoid contents(TF) of two Tradiational Indian medicinal plants and second to determine whether these compounds have an Germination and Growth inhibition capacity towards Dicotyledonous Arachishypogea and Monocotlydenous oryza sativa plant Propagation. The polyphenolic extraction of the dried powdered bark samples have been performed using (70% Ethanol and 30% distilled water ) Hydro-alcohol. The total phenolic content , analyzed using Folin-ciocalteu’s reagent were found to be 32.15 and 20.38mg/g dry weight, expressed as Gallic acid equivalents(GAE). The total flavanoid concentrations, detected using 2% Alluminium chloride, were found to be 13.2, and 7.46mg/g Rutin Equivalents (RE) of combined hydroalcoholic bark extract. With further data analysis it was found that there was a positive correlation between the total phenolic, total flavanoid content of bark extract and its growth inhibition activity was determined to be R²=0.9968.This also suggests that phenolics and flavanoids in these plant provide substantial growth inhibitory activity. Upon achievement of this survey, and using more plants, an extra benefit of these medicinal plant may be found. Flora of India appears to be a rich and interesting source for supplementary Ethnomedicinal and phytochemical studies .
