Overview

Randomized trial evaluates antifungal effects of citronella essential oil in plant pathogens, suggesting new green control strategies.

Key Points

  • This study aims to examine the antifungal properties of citronella essential oil and its active components against Botrytis cinerea.
  • Evaluated nine plant essential oils for antifungal effects, focusing on citronella essential oil
  • Conducted in vivo and in vitro experiments to assess mechanisms of action
  • Analyzed the active compound in citronella oil, identifying citronellol as the key antifungal agent
  • Citronellol at 200 μL/L showed a 76.93% inhibition rate against Botrytis cinerea
  • Elucidated the mechanism of action: disrupting cell membrane integrity and increasing hydrogen peroxide levels
