  Author(s): Tarek Mohamed Abdel Ghany Tarek Mohamed Abdel Ghany
  
  Radial growth Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium oxysporum was determined on medium amended with Juniperus procera methanolic extract. The radial growth of A. flavus and F. oxysporum was significantly reduced at 150 and 200 mg. The precentage of reduction was 16.55%, 48.54% and 48.64%, 59.86% for A. flavus and F. oxysporum, respectively. However, addition of J. procera extract to Carbomar significantly reduced radial growth compared with using Carbomar alone. On the other hand, with addition of the J. procera extract, the productivity percentage of aflatoxins B2, aflatoxins B1, sterigmatocystin, cyclopiazonic acid and fusaric acid was reduced by100, 67.44, 96.28, 60.33 and 8.36%, respectively as a result of applied J. procera extract. Moreover, the extract of J. procera significantly reduced the F. oxysporum colony-forming units (cfu) in the cultivated soil with Raphanus.. View More»
