Penghambatan Pertumbuhan Aspergillus Flavus Dan Fusarium Moniliforme Oleh Ekstrak Seruni (Wedelia Biflora) Dan Kembang Bulan (Tithonia Diversifolia)

The growth inhibition of Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium moniliforme by extract of seruni (Wedelia biflora) and Kembang bulan (Tithonia diversifolia) has studied. Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion were used in this experiment. The leaf methanolic extracts prepared were 0, 5, 10, 15, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70% with dimethyl sulfoxide as the solvent. The results showed that extract of seruni and kembang bulan has a different activity in inhibiting the growth of both fungus. Seruni extract showed lower activity in inhibiting A. flavus and F. moniliforme than kembang bulan. In 40% seruni inhibits the growth both of the fungus. While kembang bulan showed activity in inhibiting A. flavus and F. moniliforme in 5%
