Overview

Laboratory findings demonstrate essential oils reduce fungal growth in two pathogens, indicating potential agricultural uses.

Key Points

  • This research evaluates the antifungal activity of essential oils from three plant species against selected fungi.
  • In vitro testing of essential oils from Cymbopogon citratus, Origanum majorana, and Lavandula dentata
  • GC–MS and GC‐FID analysis to identify chemical composition
  • Use of direct contact assay and disk diffusion method to assess antifungal activity
  • All essential oils inhibited mycelium growth of Apiospora arundinis and Fusarium oxysporum
  • Lavandula dentata EO showed highest minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 4 μL/mL
  • Cymbopogon citratus EO had the lowest MIC of 0.4 μL/mL in disk diffusion assay
