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.
