Chloroform and methanol extracts of root and shoot of the herb <b style=""><i style="">Heracleum</i> <i style="">candicans</i> Wall.</b> showed antibacterial activity against <i style="">Escherichia coli</i>, <i style="">Klebsiella</i> and <i style="">Pseudomonas</i> species, while petroleum ether extract of root showed inhibitory activity against <i style="">Salmonella typhi </i>and <i style="">Pseudomonas </i>species only. Antifungal activity against six species of fungi, viz. <i style="">Alternaria, Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium, Phytophthora</i> and <i style="">Pythium</i> was observed in petroleum ether and chloroform root extracts. Petroleum ether extract of shoot showed antifungal effect against five fungal species, viz. <i style="">Alternaria, Aspergillus, Fusarium, Phytophthora</i> and <i style="">Pythium.</i> Methanol root extracts also showed antifungal activity against <i style="">Alternaria</i> species. only. Similarly, methanol shoot extract showed inhibitory activity against <i style="">Aspergillus</i> and <i style="">Pythium</i> species only. The results suggest significant antimicrobial activity of the extracts against tested fungi and bacteria.
