Jatropha curcas L. commonly known as “physic nut” is an unusual species that shows aggressive characters. Plantation of Jatropha species is being undertaken at a huge scale for biodiesel production. The plants defoliated their leaves two times a year and have been shown to possess confident antinutritional factors. Seeds of Jatropha are detached from mature dehydrated fruits for oil extraction and ovary walls are cast-off. this study was to discover the effectiveness of different parts of Jatropha curcas plant against some selected human pathogens as antimicrobic agent which are known to cause diseases and to check antioxidant and phytochemicals from different plant sections of J. curcas. Plant extracts were studied by quantification of antimicrobial and phytochemical compounds. This study reveals that 20% ethanol stem extract of Jatropha curcas showed maximum antibacterial activity (40 ± 0.0 mm) against Klebsiella pneumonia. Water extract of root of J. curcas also withdrawn E. coli (35.25 ± 0.35 mm). The growth of K. pneumonia and Agrobacterium tumifaciens were also stopped when ethanol extract of J. curcas root applied to check their potential as antimicrobial agent. A complete study on the phytochemical contents and biological activities of the methanolic extract from different parts of Jatropha curcas Linn. was directed. The extracts of different plant parts contained various levels of phenolics, flavonoids and saponins. Latex and leaf extracts showed the uppermost antioxidant activity. In this study, the antifungal, antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory (α-amylase), phytochemical and cytotoxicity profle of Jatropha curcas seed oil and de-oiled seed slab extracts was determined. The antifungal activities were investigated against diferent phytopathogenic fungi including Colletotrichum coccodes, Pythium ultimum, Phytophthora capsici, Rhizoctonia solani, Bipolaris oryzae and Fusarium fujikuroi
