Botrytis cinerea is a fungus that causes gray mold on many fruit crops. Despitethe availability of a large number of botryticides, the chemical control of gray mold hasbeen hindered by the emergence of resistant strains. In this paper, tests were done todetermine the botryticidal efficacy of selected plant extracts alone or combined withkresoxim-methyl. In total, eight South African medicinal plants viz Artemisia afra,Elyptropappus rhinocerotis, Galenia africana, Hypoxis hemerocallidea, Siphonochilusaetheopicus, Sutherlandia frutescens, Tulbaghia violacea and Tulbaghia alliacea werescreened. Allium sativum, a plant species known to have antifungal activity, was includedin the in vivo studies. For the in vitro studies, synergistic interactions between the plantextracts and the kresoxim-methyl fungicide were tested with radial growth assays. Dataindicated synergistic inhibitory effects between the fungicide and the plant extracts. Next,different doses of plant extracts combined with kresoxim-methyl were used for decayinhibition studies on Granny Smith apples. Synergistic and additive effects were observed for many of the combinations. Even though this study was done using only one strain ofB. cinerea, results showed that the tested indigenous South African plant species possessnatural compounds that potentiate the activity of kresoxim-methyl
