The current study was done to evaluate the effect arugula extracts on the growth of Fusarium oxysporum mushrooms, which included extraction of active ingredients in the plant, and effect of these extracts on inhibition offusarium oxysporum fungus. The results of the study showed the efficacy of alcoholic andaquatic plant extracts on fungus growth, and the resultsshowed that the alcoholic extract has a significant effect ininhibition the growth of fungus, it was noted thatthe developing colony diameter decreases in the higher the concentration of aquatic and alcoholic extract of plant to the lowest diameter 0.75 mm when the concentration 100% of the extract compared to the control treatment of 3.4 mm. The statistical analysis of the results indicates that there were differences in the bioactivity in comparing between the alcoholic extract and water extract according to the concentrations. It was found that bioactivity of the extract increases with the increasing of the concentration and the100% of alchololic extract shows the higher bioactivity in comparing with other concentrations and in comparing with water extract.
