Abstract :In this study, antifungal effects of thyme insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Thymus vulgaris L.);, Cumin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cuminum cyminum L.);, juniper insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Juniperis com-munis L.);, mint insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mentha piperita L.); oleander insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Nerium oleander L.);, ivy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hedera helix L.);, picling herb insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Echinophora tenuifo-lia L.); , nettle insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Urtica dioica L.);, eucalyptus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Eucalyptus sp.); and herbal insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Artemisia sp.); extracts were investigated against Alternaria mali Roberts , Fusarium oxysporum Synder & Hansen, Botrytis cinerea Pers., Sclerotinia sclerotiorum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Libert); de Bary and Colletotrichum circinans insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Berk.); Vogl. in vitro conditions. Extracts were used in 0.5 ml, 1 ml and 2 ml/ 100 ml medi-um dose. Thyme extract was found the most effect and completely inhibited the mycelial growth of fungi. While cumin extract inhibited mycelial growth of fungi at high doses, it showed a little antifungal effect at low dose. Extracts of pickling herb, herbal, mint, eucalyptus, juniper and oleander were inhibited colonial growth of fungi at rates 26 % -100 %. However, extracts of ivy and nettle were showed more little inhibition against fungi.
