The present study, was conducted to investigate the effect of phytochemical compounds extract from two medicinal plants which are (Curcuma longa L. and Boswellia carteri Birdwood) by using two solvents which are Methanol and Chloroform on Fusarium species isolated from maize seeds collected from three different silo and local markets in the province of Karbala 2018 in Iraq. Antifungal activity was achieved in vitro by using food poisoning method against Fusarium species by preparing three concentrations for each solvent (10, 5, and 2.5 ) mg/ml and compared with positive control represented by fungicide Beltanoll 50% and negative control represented by 10% dimethyl sulfoxide. The aimed of this investigation was to control of Fusarium species isolated form maize seeds by using two medicinal plants (Curcuma longa L. and Boswellia carteri Birdwood). The data collected from the study revealed that, the extracts of methanolic and chloroform of (Curcuma longa L. and Boswellia carteri Birdwood) showed significant reduction at P= 0.05 in the growth of Fusarium species especially at 10 mg/ml compared with negative control. Finally, it can be concluded that Curcuma longa is most effective in controlling Fusarium species in compared with Boswellia carteri, especially methanolic extract.
