Abstract
In order to eradicate the microbial load in the air, the proposed study has evolved a modified open plate methodology using different concentration of flower extract. The flower extracts of Chrysanthemum coronarium, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Nerium oleander, Polyanthes tuberosa and Rosa centifolia were tried in different concentration in this study by open plate method. The plates were exposed in a public toilet for 30 minutes and further observations were made. It was concluded that almost all the extracts showed better performance at 15% concentration. Among the five flowers studied the extract of Rosa centifolia showed a very good performance even in 5% concentration than the others. The study concluded that among the tested extract the Rosa centifolia showed an excellent performance followed by Nerium oleander, Chrysanthemum coronarium, Polyanthes tuberosa and Hibiscus rosasinensis.
