Abstract

The study was conducted in laboratories of Biology Department - College of Sciences, which dealt study the effect of aqueous extract of Lawsonia sp plant& Thymus vulgaris, and alcoholic extract of Allium sativum plant and its ability to reduce the incidence of fungi that have been isolated from the fruits of punica granatum, post-harvest, which included Penicillium, A.terrus and Rhizopus stolonifer, and the results of this study proved the efficiency of plant extracts, whether aqueous or alcoholic in the inhibition of radial growth for fungi isolated and thus reduce the incidence through the use of different concentrations of each type of extracts, where use three concentrations of each extract, namely (1, 2, 3%). Alcoholic extract of Allium sativum plant was more effect on fungi isolated compared to aqueous extract of Lawsonia sp plant& Thymus vulgaris,, especially the concentration 3% as the percentage of inhibition at this concentrate 100% while the percentage of inhibition for the aqueous extract of Lawsonia sp plant& Thymus vulgaris with the same concentration 88.88 and 77.77% respectively . The study showed differences in the sensitivity of fungi isolated from the fruits of punica granatum to the plants extracts was A.terrus is the most effective to the extracts comparison with Penicillium and Rhizopus stolonifer, where the percentage of inhibition of this fungus when used the alcoholic extract of Allium sativum plant and aqueous extract of Lawsonia sp plant&Thymus vulgaris was (100, 83.33, 72.22 %), respectively, while the percentage of inhibition of the Penicillium when using the same extracts 88.88, 66.66, 61.11%, respectively, and the fungus Rhizopus stolonifer (94.44, 77.77, 66.66) % respectively.
