The efficiency of different natural plant extracts and chemical fungicides were conducted to determine their effects on Fusarium sp.aff.F.semitectum causing leave wilt of Citrus jambheri (Kachai lemon). In vitro studies to assess the antifungal activity of 10 plant extracts were carried out and the results revealed that plant extract had a strong antifungal property with significant inhibition in the growth of tested fungus. Among the phytoextracts, Curcuma longa was found to be most effective with 95.32 % to inhibit the growth of the fungus. Different concentrations of chemical fungicides were also studied on test fungus and were found more efficient than the natural compounds. Thus, the plant extracts can be used as a sustainable alternative fungicide to control pathogenic fungus like Fusarium semitectum thus reducing the dependence on the synthetic fungicides.
