Abstract

This study is conducted to test the Propolis different methods extract solution on the growth of bacteria (Erwinia carotovora and Bacillus subtilis) and rice blast fungi (Magnaporthe oryzae).
It tested two different concentrations (5% and 10%) for eight samples representing Ethyl alcohol extract, olive oil extract, water extract, and petroleum ether extractor on bacteria and fungi growth.
The results of the experiments indicate that petroleum ether at concentration of 10 % on Erwinia carotovora recorded the highest inhibition zone 4.83 cm, while less impact was 2 c.m in Erwinia carotovora at concentration of 10 % by ethyl alcohol and 5 % distilled water. At the top of the fungi effect was 71.43 % by distilled water at concentration of 5 and 10 % while less impact was 2.39 % at Ethyl alcohol at concentration of 10%.
