The Protection of Beech Wood (”Fagus Sylvatic”a) against the brown Rot ”Postia Placenta” using Clove (”Eugenia Caryophyllata”) Essential Oil in a Linseed Oil Medium
Abstract:The present research investigates the antifungal efficiency of clove (Eugenia caryophyllata) essential oil (C-EO) combined with linseed oil (LO) at different concentrations (1%, 5%, 10%) using two types of mycological tests: a qualitative screening test by agar diffusion method and a quantitative mini-block test on treated beech (Fagus sylvatica) wood.The agar diffusion test indicated improved protection of wood should be possible with a mixture of C-EO and LO from a concentration of 5%. In contrast, the mini-… Show more
