Title: Study on Effect of Some Medicinal Plant Extracts on Growth and Spore Germination of Fusarium oxysporum schlecht. In vitro
Abstract: In this study, antifungal activity of Menthapiperita L., CinnamomumzeylanicumBlume, AlliumhirtifoliumBoiss.andAllium sativumL. were investigated against Fusarium oxysporum schlecht. Inhibition of the growth rate and spore germination was evaluated after 8 and 10 days in PDA and PDB media. The results showed the plant extracts and their main components had inhibitory activities on the growth rate and spore germination of this fungus. The results exhibited Cinnamomumzeylanicum, Menthapiperita, Allium hirtifolium and Allium sativum at 1000, 500, 500 and 500 ppm respectively gave the largest inhibition on the growth rate of F. oxysporumin PDA media. Extract of Cinnamomumzeylanicum, Menthapiperita, Allium hirtifolium and Allium sativum showed maximum inhibition of the spore germination at 1000, 1000, 1000 and 500 ppm after 8 days, while the least spore germination was occurred at 1000, 100, 100 and 25 ppm after 10 days in PDB media.
