Abstract
The essential oils of Cymbopogon martinii var. motia, Eucalyptus citriodora, Cinnomomum tamala and Mentha piperita were screened for their fungicidal activity against Fusarium moniliforme, a post-harvest fungal pathogen of cereal crops. Each oil was found to be effective in inhibiting fungal growth; however, the antifungal activity of the four oils increased as their concentrations increased.Keywords
