A Study was carried out to evaluate the ability of the methanolic, hydro and oily
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 in
hibition
ability of the alcoholic and hydro 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 hydro 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. The oily extraction showed high inhibition ability, where the inhibition rate
was 100% when the extraction was used by the two concentrations 50 and 75 μl for both
two studied fungi.
