In vitro, Control of Fusarium oxysporum fs lycopersici By Using Aquesous Extracts of Umbelliferae Family Members in Gaza Strip

Fusarium oxysporum fs lycopersici (FOFL) is considered as one of the most important plant pathogen causes fusarium wilt specifically in tomato. In the present study, the antimicrobial activity of Umbelliferae members carrot, Parsley, Celery, Coriander, Fennel, Caraway, Anise, Dill and Cumin aqueous extracts on phytopathogenic fungus (FOFL). These extracts used at different concentration (1,2,4 and 8%) and proved their bioactivity as antifungal agents for the inhibition of Fusarium oxysporum radial growth, fungal biomass and sporulation. Carrot and Anise were showed more than inhibition of radial growth than chemical fungicides, but all plant aqueous extracts were showed the inhibition of fungal spores less than chemical fungicides (Bavistin at 10 ppm).Our results in this study revealed that significant antagonistic effects of Umbelliferae members against the (FOFL) and therefore could be used a viable option for natural pesticides.
