This study was carried out to investigate the effects of the extracts of Ruta graveolens L., Mentha x villosa, Calendula officinalis L., Momordica charantia L., Symphytum officinale L., Ageratum conyzoides L. and Ricinus comunis L., in the concentrations of 0, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 and 10000 mg L-1, on the inhibition of the mycelial growth of in vitro Cercospora calendulae Sacc. The extracts were obtained by infusion. The experiment was performed at the Laboratório de Fitopatologia - FCA/UFGD, in the Brazilian State of Mato Grosso do Sul. The experimental design was totally randomized, with a factorial arrangement of 7 extracts x 7 concentrations, with six repetitions. We detected the effect of the extracts and their concentrations on the growth of the fungus, with a significant interaction between the factor extracts and the concentration. Calendula officinalis L., Ruta graveolens L., Mentha x villosa and Momordica charantia L. extracts in higher concentration resulted in higher inhibition percentages in the order of 100%, 30%, 35% and 40%, respectively.
