Poaceae, which includes grasses, is a family of monocotyledonous plants. Grasses are an important category within this family. There are around one hundred secondary metabolites that have been identified from various types of grass. Compounds that are naturally occurring and physiologically active and may be found in Digitaria species are referred to as phytochemicals. Phytochemicals not only operate as the plant's natural defensive system, but they also give the plant its colour, scent and flavour and they have the ability to prevent diseases. In present study phytochemical analysis, total phenolic content, total flavanoid content, total carotenoid estimation and antioxidant potential were checked in plant extract of Digitaria eriantha.
