Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is an economically important vegetable crop affected by several phytopathogenic diseases, including those caused by Alternaria alternata.The limitations associated with intensive use of synthetic pesticides have increased interest in plant-derived alternatives such as essential oils.This study investigated the chemical composition and antifungal activity of Cymbopogon citratus and Cymbopogon schoenanthus essential oils, individually and in binary combinations, against A. alternata.Essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation and their volumetric combinations at ratios of 25/75, 50/50, and 75/25 (C1, C2, and C3, respectively) were characterized by gas chromatography-mass Chemical composition …Nébié Bily et al.
