Eight plant extract materials were involved in these studies to control cucumber fruit rot disease i.e., Cinnamon, Ginger, Thyme, Marjoram, Clove, Garlic, Galls and Nigella. The most aggressive fungal pathogen isolates from seven pathogenic fungi were tested in these trials i.e., Fusarium moniliforme (isolate 2), Fusarium oxysporium (isolate 1), Fusarium solani (isolate 1), Fusarium subglutinans (isolate 1), Botrytis cinerea (isolate 3), Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (isolate 3) and Macrophomina phaseo/ina. Three concentrations of each plant extract i.e.3, 5 and 10% were used in these experiments. All plant extracts were effective in growth inhibition of the seven fungal pathogens and various in effects with the three tested concentrations. The most effective plant extract was Garlic at the three tested concentration followed by Thyme on most of the tested fugal pathogen in petri dish under laboratory conditions. All tested plant extracts were affected on disease index; Galls followed by Thyme were the most effective extracts at 3% concentration. Key words: Cucumber fruit rot, biocontrol, plant extracts.
