Abstract:

A Study was carried out to evaluate the ability of the methanolic and water extractions of anise seeds (Pimpinella anisum L.) to inhibit the growth of the pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus niger. The results showed a good inhibition ability of the methanolic and water extractions on the growth of the studied fungi. The inhibition ability differed due to the used concentrations. When the methanolic extraction was used by concentrations (2, 4, and 6) mlg/ ml at the seventh day, the inhibition ability was (42.5, 50.6 and 64.4)% of the fungus F. oxysporum, respectively. And was (23.6, 42.7 and 55.1)% of the fungus A. niger, respectively. Whereas when the water extraction was used by the same concentrations, the inhibition ability was (59.2, 65.3 and 70)% respectively for the fungus F. oxysporum, and (46.1, 58 and 61)% for the fungus A. niger, respectively.

Keywords:
