Abstract:
This study aimed to know the changes in the growth rate and its dry weights when treating the Botrytis cinerea fungus with different concentration of extract of some plants (Arum cyrenaicum, Artemisia annua,Atriplex halimus, Ephedra alata, Leucaena leucocephala, Anabasis articulata and Urtica urens), aqueous , a methanol and hexanal. All extracts showed an inhibitory effect on growth of the fungus, but the inhibitory effectiveness differed depending on solvents and extracted plants ranged from 5.7 to 80.5% and the aqueous extract of the Ephedra sp. was more effective in inhibiting fungal growth compared to hexanolic and methanolic extract. The extract of theEphedra sp. and Urtica urens plants showed the highest effect on the growth of the fungus while the extract of the Anabasis sp. Plant had least effect.
Key words: plant extracts, inhibitor efficiency, Botrytis cinerea.
