Abstract |
: |
The ethanolic extracts of propolis, wax and both of them were tested for their Inhibition activity against some pathogenic fungi viz. Aspergillus terrus, Candida albicans, Fusarium oxysporium, Fusarium solani and Rhizoctonia solani. The obtained results showed that the radial growth of previously mentioned fungi, was decreased by increasing the added extracts concentration from 4 to 5% of propolis and wax. Also propolis extracts had more inhibitory effect than wax. The inhibitory percentages of the tested fungi C. albicans, F. oxysporium, F. solani and R. solani were 56.63%, 55.88%, 50.88%, and 44.37% respectively.
The effect trends of propolis and the wax extracts were opposite, when the effect of propolis extraction was high on R. solani but low on A. terrus. Also, results showed that the extracts of of propolis and wax mixture at 5% were more effective than each individually. The highest inhibitory growth ratio 100% of R. solani and C. albicans was obtained at 5% mixture concentration. The inhibitory effects of propolis and wax mixture on fungi were more effective than that of antibiotics. |
