The chemical composition of the essential oil of kenaf ( Hibiscus cannabinus ) was examined by GC-MS. Fifty-eight components were characterized from H. cannabinus with ( E )-phytol (28.16%), ( Z )-phytol (8.02%), n -nonanal (5.70%), benzene acetaldehyde (4.39%), ( E )-2-hexenal (3.10%), and 5-methylfurfural (3.00%) as the major constituents. The oil was phytotoxic to lettuce and bentgrass and had antifungal activity against Colletotrichum fragariae, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and Colletotrichum accutatum but exhibited little or no algicidal activity.
