<div><p style="text-align: justify">The in vitro effect of extacts from <em>Berberis vulgaris </em>and <em>Chelidonium majus </em>was studied against <em>Botrytis gladiolorum </em>fungus isolated<em> </em>from<em> Gladiolus </em>spp. We evaluated in vitro the effect of total extracts from<em> Berberis vulgaris </em>and <em>Chelidonium majus </em>on sporulation, and sclerotia formation. Plant extracts from <em>Berberis vulgaris</em>, containing 1% alkaloids, and<em> Chelidonium majus</em>, 0,25% alkaloids, were added to PDA at alkaloid concentrations of 25 to 250 micrograme/ml. Extract from both plants had increasing inhibitory activity against <em>Botrytis gladiolorum</em> fungus with increasing alkaloid concentration.</p></div>
