The objective of this study was to determine the antifungal effect of crude extracts from Chinese date (Ziziphus jujube) and African ebony (Diospyros mespiiiformis) each with four varying concentrations(50g/L, 100g/L, 150g/L and 200 g/L), a standard fungicide (Benomyi 50WP at 2g/L) on tomato inocuiated with Aspergiiius niger and Rhizopus stoionifer and a controi (untreated tomato) which constituted the treatments. The treatments were iaid in a Compieteiy Randomized Design (CRD) with three repiications. The resuits obtained showed significant difference (P<0.01) on radiai growth and weight loss of tomato when the aqueous plant extracts where used. Ziziphus jujube gave the best reduction for radiai growth (1.55) and weight ioss (3.00) between the two piant extracts tested and was as good as standard fungicide (Benomyl 50WP) (1.50) at P<0.01. Also from the result obtained, it is evident that the plant extracts possessed antifungal properties which if fully exploited could be used in integrated pest management and post-harvest treatment for tomato before storage and on transit as control measures for Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus stolonifer to reduce the overdependence of farmers on chemical fungicides.
