Antifungal activity of essential oils from several medicinal plants against four postharvest citrus pathogens [Morocco]

Antifungal activity of 25 essential oils, distilled from Moroccan medicinal plants, against Penicillium digitatum, Phytophthora citrophthora, Geotrichum citri-aurantii and Botrytis cinerea is reported. Essential oil from Chrysanthemum viscidehirtum at a concentration of 150 ppm (v:v) strongly inhibi...

Zusammenfassung:Antifungal activity of 25 essential oils, distilled from Moroccan medicinal plants, against Penicillium digitatum, Phytophthora citrophthora, Geotrichum citri-aurantii and Botrytis cinerea is reported. Essential oil from Chrysanthemum viscidehirtum at a concentration of 150 ppm (v:v) strongly inhibited in vitro growth of all four fungi. The other 24 oils reduced fungal development less than 69% at a concentration of 250 ppm. C. viscidehirtum essential oil was further tested on citrus fruits (Citrus reticulata cv Nules) inoculated with P. digitatum, G. citri-aurantii and P. citrophthora [10*[5) conidia ml*[-1)]. The antifungal activity of this oil was weak at 250 ppm, but at 2,000 ppm the percentage of decayed fruits was very low. The inhibition data were compared to treatments with the synthetic fungicides procymidone, thiabendazole (TBZ), guazatine and propamocarbe HCL at 1,000 ppm. GC-Mass spectrum analysis indicated that C. viscidehirtum essential oil contains beta-farnesene, limonene and many oxygenated sesquiterpenes [Viene riferito sull'attivita' antifungina di 25 oli essenziali, distillati da piante medicinali marocchine, nei confronti di Penicillium digitatum, Phytophthora citrophthora, Geotrichum citri-aurantii e Botrytis cinerea. L'olio essenziale di Chrysanthemum viscidehirtum alla concentrazione di 150 ppm (v:v) inibiva fortemente la crescita in vitro di tutti e quattro i funghi. Gli altri 24 oli riducevano lo sviluppo fungino a meno del 69% alla concentrazione di 250 ppm. L'olio essenziale di C. viscidehirtum e' stato ulteriormente saggiato su frutti di agrumi (Citrus reticulata cv Nules) inoculati con P. digitatum, G. citrus-aurantii e P. citrophthora [10*[5) conidi ml*[-1)]. L'attivita' antifungina di questo olio era debole a 250 ppm, ma a 2.000 ppm la percentuale di frutti deteriorati era molto bassa. I dati relativi all'inibizione sono stati confrontati con i trattamenti con i fungicidi sintetici procimidone, tiabendazolo (YBZ), guazatina e propamocarbe HCl a 1.000 ppm. L'analisi GC-MS ha indicato che l'olio essenziale di C. viscidehirtum contiene beta-farnesene, limonene e molti sesquiterpeni ossigenati]
