N2  - A field trial was carried out to control maize ear rots and reduce the production of fumonisin FB1 produced by Fusarium verticillioides.and aflatoxin 61& B2 produced by Aspergillus flavus by using extracts. of Cymbopogon proximus. Stapf. These extracts were superior to extracts of Thymus vulgaris and Salvadora persica in reducing infection with the target fungi. Cproximus-hexane extract gave the best effect in this respect. Using Cproximus-hexane extract as a protective application significantly affected the disease comparable to application after fungal inoculation
