“…The effects of twelve essential oils on F.oxysporum and compared with commercial fungicides was examined and found that fungicide Prosaro -250 EC and essential oils from clove, fennel, anise, true lavender, peppermint, thyme, basil , tea and sage exhibited the same inhibitory effect (Palfi et al ., 2019). The inhibition of F.graminearum and F. culmorum in maize and wheat seeds and reduction in the Deoxynivalenol, zearalenone and group B trichothecenes level with the application of essential oils was reported ( Perczak et al, 2019a ;2019b). Kumar et al (2016) reported the inhibition of growth and mycotoxin (ZEA) production by Fusarium graminearum at 3.5 and 3 mg/mL respectively by turmeric essential oil.…”

Mycological examination of 57 samples of Ginger revealed the occurrence of toxigenic Fusarium species (Fusarium verticililoides, F. oxysporum, F. solani and F. equiseti) with 44.9% of incidence. Fusarium species isolated in this study were treated with different concentration (1000 ppm, 1500 ppm, 2000 ppm, 2500 ppm) of five essential oils viz., Clove, Eucalyptus, Cedar wood , Peppermint and Lemon grass and the antifungal activity of each essential oils was evaluated. The results indicated that all essential oils exhibited anti-fungal activity at different concentrations. Peppermint oil was highly effective in inhibiting all the Fusarium species tested at 1500ppm and higher concentration. Lemongrass, Clove and Eucalyptus oils inhibited the fungal growth at 2000-2500 ppm. Cedar oil was less effective in inhibition of mycelial growth and sporulation of the Fusarium species tested. The present results reveals that essential oils can be used as natural fungicide at lowest concentrations for controlling Fusarium species in Ginger

“…With the need to guarantee high-quality seeds, seed treatments with antimicrobials represent a crucial and important step for reduction of seed infections [ 16 ]. Integrated pest management strategies are designed to provide environmentally sound and economically feasible alternatives for seedborne disease management [ 17 ]. These strategies are needed to minimize the inoculum of potential pathogens on seeds, and they draw on management components that are currently available to farmers, or can be made available in the near future [ 18 ].…”

Evaluation of Seven Essential Oils as Seed Treatments against Seedborne Fungal Pathogens of Cucurbita maxima

et al. 2021

Essential oils are gaining interest as environmentally friendly alternatives to synthetic fungicides for management of seedborne pathogens. Here, seven essential oils were initially tested in vivo for disinfection of squash seeds (Cucurbita maxima) naturally contaminated by Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium fujikuro, Fusarium solani, Paramyrothecium roridum, Albifimbria verrucaria, Curvularia spicifera, and Rhizopus stolonifer. The seeds were treated with essential oils from Cymbopogon citratus, Lavandula dentata, Lavandula hybrida, Melaleuca alternifolia, Laurus nobilis, and Origanum majorana (#1 and #2). Incidence of S. cucurbitacearum was reduced, representing a range between 67.0% in L. nobilis to 84.4% in O. majorana #2. Treatments at 0.5 mg/mL essential oils did not affect seed germination, although radicles were shorter than controls, except with C. citratus and O. majorana #1 essential oils. Four days after seeding, seedling emergence was 20%, 30%, and 10% for control seeds and seeds treated with C. citratus essential oil (0.5 mg/mL) and fungicides (25 g/L difenoconazole plus 25 g/L fludioxonil). S. cucurbitacearum incidence was reduced by ~40% for plantlets from seeds treated with C. citratus essential oil. These data show the effectiveness of this essential oil to control the transmission of S. cucurbitacearum from seeds to plantlets, and thus define their potential use for seed decontamination in integrated pest management and organic agriculture.

“…Plant essential oils are composed from mixture of monoterpenes, diterpenes, sesquiterpenes and their oxidatives derivatives such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, esters, phenols and oxides [17,18]. Essential oils are often used in cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry [19]. The alternative use of EOs as biological pesticides is an important element of modern organic farming [16].…”

Introduction. Fusaria are microscopic filamentous fungi which are spread in soil, in various organic substrates, and include more than 80 phytopathogenic species which are predominantly hosted by cereals, fruits and vegetables. Many of these species, under certain conditions, are capable of synthesizing secondary metabolites, mycotoxins. At present, various substances are used for their elimination and one of the solutions appears to be essential oils. In the presented study, the antifungal activity of essential oils was researched in vitro. Materials and method. In this study, two standard fungal isolates Fusarium graminearum CCM F-683 and Fusarium graminearum CCM 8244 (Brno, Czech Republic) were used. The antifungal effect of 6 tested essential oils (Syzygium aromaticum, Origanum vulgare, Thymus vulgaris, Hyssopus officinalis, Ocimum basilicum, Myristica fragrans) was determined using the broth microdilution method, which allows reading of the MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration). According to the results obtained, the growth inhibition of Fusarium graminearum was determined by assay for the inhibition of radial growth of the mycelium. Results. The inhibitory effects of thymus, oregano, basil, myristica, hyssop and syzygium essential oil (EO) on mycelial growth of Fusarium graminearum CCM F-683 and CCM 8244 were investigated. The best antifungal activity against the both strains of Fusarium graminearum (37.4%; 40.7%) was demonstrated by Origanum vulgare EO at the concentration 100 µg/mL. Among the four tested oils, three (Syzygium aromaticum, Thymus vulgaris, Origanum vulgare) achieved the best inhibitory effect (100%) at concentrations 500 µg/mL and 1000 µg/mL. Conclusions. In the protection of plants against pathogenic fungi, essential oils appear to be a suitable substitute for synthetic chemicals.
