Antifungal and herbicidal properties of essential oils and n-hexane extracts of Achillea gypsicola Hub-Mor. and Achillea biebersteinii Afan. (Asteraceae)

Chemical composition of the essential oils and extracts of Achillea species and their biological activities: A review

“…In the recent report by Kordali et al (2009) crispus, a broad range of inhibitory activities was observed compared to control groups (Table 6). Among these five important weeds, the seed germination and seedling growth of three ones (A. retroflexus, C. arvense and L. serriola) were greatly affected by the corresponding EOs.…”

“…According to the report of Kordali et al (2009), the EOs and extracts of two species of Achillea, namely A. gypsicola Hub-Mor. and A. biebersteinii Afan.…”

Natural Products from Plants as Potential Source Agents for Controlling Fusarium

“…For the Asteraceae family, two genera (Achillea and Tanacetum) showed moderate results, against to a large number of Fusarium species. Both studies showed a correlation of results with a high monoterpenoids content such as: camphor, 1,8-cineole, piperitone, borneol and α-terpineol [106,108].…”

Chemical Compositions of Achillea sivasica: Different Plant Part Volatiles, Enantiomers and Fatty Acids

“…They are used for ulcer, appetizing, carminative, diuretic and against fleas as insecticidal [4][5][6][7] A. millefolium reviewed by German Commission E advert to its astringent, cholerethic, antibacterial, antispasmodic effects [8]. In literature survey, the essential oil of Achillea species showed antioxidant [9][10][11], antimicrobial and antifungal [12][13][14][15][16], antimelanogenesis [17], antiinflammatory and for healing [18,19], cytotoxic and insecticidal activities [20][21][22].…”
