The study of phytochemicals, secondary metabolic substances in plants are known to provide protection against insect attacks and plant diseases. The current investigation is an attempt to study the preliminary phytochemicals that are present in black gram using different solvent extracts. An experiment was conducted to study the influence of chemical fertilizers (DAP and superphosphate) and leaf extracts (Ocimum basilicum and Lantana camara L.) on the presence of secondary metabolites. The results showed the presence of flavonoids, terpenoids, quinone, sterols, oil and fat by various tests.
