Overview

Research shows essential oils like citronella oil significantly reduce disease incidence caused by Bipolaris oryzae, suggesting a viable biological control method.

Key Points

  • Citronella oil completely inhibited mycelial growth of Bipolaris oryzae at low concentrations.
  • Field tests showed a reduction in disease incidence comparable to the fungicide difenoconazole.
  • GC - MS analysis identified 60 compounds in citronella oil, revealing potential antimicrobial effects.
  • Metabolomic analysis indicates that bioactive compounds in citronella oil may enhance crop health.
