Effect of some certain plant water extracts on the infection with Fusarium solani the causal pathogen of faba bean root-ro

Effect of water extracts from moringa, clove, black cumin, ginger and black pepper at 0, 1, 3, and 5% on the mycelial linear growth of Fusarium solani were investigated in vitro. The outcomes demonstrated that at 3 and 5% of the tested concentrations, all examined plant aqueous extracts effectively inhibited the linear growth of F. solani. In addition, the inhibitory effects increased gradually by increasing the concentration of each plant water extract tested. These extracts were used at a concentration of 5% under greenhouse and field conditions and were effective in reducing root- rot disease in faba bean.
