This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of the aqueous extracts of two wild Lamiaceae species against  P. expansum  and  B. cinerea  and the impact of these treatments on fruit quality parameters. The  in vitro  results showed significant effect of the two aqueous extracts on both fungi mycelial growth.  A. alpinus  exhibited high antifungal efficacy against  P. expansum  with an inhibition rate ranging from 34.32 to 90.76% whereas  T. vulgaris  exhibit an inhibition rate against  B. cinerea  ranging from 61.87 to 97.94%. These results indicated that  A. alpinus  and  T. vulgaris  were extremely potent against both pathogens with an EC50 ranging from 0.82 to 2.39%. The  in vivo  experiments on apple fruit were very promising with an approximate efficacy varying from 64 to 79% with no impacts on fruit quality parameters. These results provide evidence that both plant species are an effective alternative to control postharvest diseases of fruit.
