A hydroalcoholic extract of Allium obliquum was tested for in vitro germination and growth of Aspergillus niger, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum F. sp. gladioli, Penicillium expansum and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum on Czapek-agar nutritive medium. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the plant extract varied between 50 and 80 µl/ml, according to the fungal species.
