Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: The experiments were conducted during 2011-2012 in the laboratories of Biology Department, Faculty of Science and Health, University of Koya , Kurdistan region Iraq by using completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. The effects of aqueous extracts of pomegranate ( Punica granatum L.) and oak gall ( Quercus infectoria L.) at concentrations were determined against (0, 10, 20 and 25%) of raw extracts to control growth of Penicillium spp. and Cladosporium spp. after different times of incubation . The results revealed that Penicillium spp. was more sensitive to both extracts than cladosporium spp. . The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antifungal activity of the two plant extracts (oak gall and pomegranate) against Penicillium spp. and Cladosporium spp.
