Fungitoxic potential of the essential oil the Piper hispidinervum (long-pepper) against phytopathogenic fungi Bipolaris sorokiniana, Fusarium oxysporum e Colletotrichum gloeosporioides

The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antifungal activity of the essential oil of the leaves of Piper hispidinervum against Bipolaris sorokiniana, Fusarium oxysporum and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. For the biological tests, using the bioanalitic test in vitro the concentrations of 100, 200, 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 mu g.mL super(-1) the essential oil. This were incorporated into PDA (potato dextrose agar) medium in order to evaluate fungal mycelial growth or inhibition. The statistic design used was completely randomized, with four replicates. In the concentration of 200 mu g.mL super(-1), observed inhibited complete the phytopathogens Bipolaris sorokiniana. while the Fusarium oxysporum and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides this is occurred in the concentration of 1000 mu g.mL super(-1).
