Abstract

This study aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the conocarpus plant and its importance in several fields, including its ability to grow and survive and resist the environmental conditions to which it is exposed, as well as the aesthetic role of the plant and its use as windbreaks and erosion control and its properties in protecting plants from pathogens, which is due to its containment of secondary metabolites compounds (derivatives of primary metabolic compounds), in addition to the statement of the positive effect of conocarpus plant in reducing the plant diseases, which was confirmed by previous studies, as studies showed that aqueous and alcoholic extracts of conocarpus plant achieved a high effectiveness in reducing pathogens compared with control treatment (which represents the plant only). Also, it showed that the alcoholic extracts were the most effective in inhibiting pathogens in the laboratory experiments, reducing the infection percentage and infection severity in the field experiments and increasing the growth parameters compared with aqueous extracts.
