The effect of time and temperature of storage of ethanolic extracts (EE) of Lantana camara and Heliotropium indicum on Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was investigated. The EE were stored at 8±2 and 26±2°C, during one year. Every 2 months they were diluted in potato dextrose agar (PDA) at 0; 0.5; 1 y 1.5% (v/v) concentrations, fungus disks were placed onto the media, mycelial growth (ICM) and sporulation (IE) inhibition were measured, as well as conidia germination. The EE stored at 8±2°C maintained their effectiveness on all variables during the 12 months storage, while those stored at 26±2°C started to lose their effectiveness at 6 to 8 months, ending up to 3% ICM, 4% IE and 18% conidia germination at 1.5% concentration. Results indicated that storage temperature and time are determinant for extracts effectiveness.
