ABSTRACT

The present study was conducted to determine the inhibitory effects of five phytoextracts, viz. Artemisia absinthium, Malva sylvestris, Plantago lanceolata, Rumex obtusifolius and Taraxicum officinale on the mycelial growth and spore germination of
Drechslera sp., Penicillium expansum, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus. The results revealed that all the concentrations of plant extracts caused significant inhibition in the mycelial growth and spore germination of the tested fungi as compared to control. However, the maximum inhibition in mycelial growth and spore germination was found at the highest concentration ā€˜Sā€™ followed by lower concentrations of the plant extracts. Maximum inhibition in mycelial growth and spore germination was caused by A. absinthium plant extract followed by R. obtusifolius, M. sylvertris, P. lanceolata and
least inhibition was found by T. officinale. The highest inhibitory activity of A. absinthium extract was shown against P. expansum (75.42%) at standard concentration ā€˜Sā€™ followed by A. flavus (74.74%), A. niger (61.83%) and Drechslera sp. (61.64%) at same concentration.
