For this purpose graduate concentrates for each extract ( 25 , 50 , 100 , 150 , 200 , 400 )mg/ml prepared and tested .The result showed that the extract of Cyperus rotundus was more effective than Eugenia caryophyllus ,while Coriandrum sativum has no effect in all concentrates on Candida albicans. The statistical analysis by using ANOVA with LSD at level (p<0.05) showed that the concentrations 200 , 400 mg/ml for Cyperus rotundus and 200 mg/ml for Eugenia caryophyllus were a significantly preeminence on the effect of other concentrations and from the effect of Nystatin and Clotrimazole .
