The need for natural antimicrobials is paramount to avoid harmful synthetic chemicals. This study investigated the antifungal activity of some medicinal and Aromatic Plants against mold. Rhizopus stolonifer is one of the strong parasitic pathogens, which can cause fruits and vegetables causing economic losses. The study aimed to determine the antifungal activity by using the natural compounds of (Clove; Neem; Tea, and pomegranate). Different concentrations (0.1, 0.01, 0.02, and 0.05 ppm) prepared from these extracts inhibited the growth of the test pathogens and the effect gradually increased with concentration. Clove aqueous extracts showed a broad antifungal spectrum at all studied concentrations, followed by Tea, Neem, and Pomegranate. The study suggested that Clove was to be significantly very effective against Rhizopus stolonifer. Result proves that pomegranate was not very effective in controlling the mold in this study in the mean of a few toxic compounds to Rhizopus spp.
