Abstract
Fungal plant diseases cause greet losses in yield and products of the important vegetable crops in Egypt. In this study, the antifungal activity of Morienga oleifera seed oil (MSO), roots extract (MRE) and leaves extract (MLE) against linear growth, spores and sclerotia germination of 18 pathogenic fungi incited tomato, green bean and potato plants was investigated. Crude extracts of roots, leaves as well as seed oil of Moringa oleifera significantly reduced radial growth, spores and sclerotia germination of all the tested fungi. M. oleifera seed oil and their extracts had different degrees of reduction in both growth and sporulation of the tested fungi. The complete reduction of radial growth, spores and sclerotia germination were at high concentrations of MLE (50%), MRE (20%) and MSO (3%) with all tested fungi. Fusarium oxysporum, F. solani and Alternaria solani were highly affected by MRE, MLE and MSO than Rhizoctonia solani, Scleritium rolfsii, Scelerotina sclerotium and M. phaseolina. It could be suggested that MRE, MLE and MSO of Moringa oleifera could be easily applied as a natural fungicide against fungal pathogens of many important crops.
