For all studied plants, the secondary compounds were identified. Alkaloids and phenol extracts from Capparis spinosa, Alkaloids, flavonoids and volatile oils from Cuminum cyminum and Alkaloids and volatile oils from Piper nigrum had been isolated. The volatile oils and alkaloids extracts of P. nigrum showed the highest effect with 48h LC50 values 6.3 and 10.2 ppm, respectively then the volatile oil extract and alkaloids extract of C. cyminum with 48h LC50 were 21.1 and 429.4 ppm respectively</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={Al-Qadisiyah Journal of Pure Science}, author={Hasan S.
