Abstract

Since long time ago, Artemisia species have been used as the flavone sources and as insects and snakes repellants. In this research, antifungal activity of ethanolic extract and essential oil of Artemisia hussknechtii was investigated based on two methods: Agar diffusion method and paper disc method. Inhibitory effects of these samples on mycelial growth of two fungi Fusarium oxysporum, Bipolaris sorokiniana were determined. Results showed that in paper disc method the essential oil of A. haussknechtii had remarkable inhibitory effect against F. oxysporum with 19.33 mm inhibitory radius zone in 50 µl /paper disc. The most inhibition on B. sorokiniana was belonging to A. hauskenechti extract with 19.08 mm inhibitory radius zone in 5 mg/paper disc. Via agar diffusion method both A. haussknechtii extract and essential oil inhibit mycelial growth of F. oxysporum and sorokiniana with 100% inhibition in 4 000, 5 000 ppm.
