Assessing essential oils from Macaronesia: a study on their efficacy against phytopathogenic and obligate biotrophic fungi. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciEssential oils (EOs) extracted from eight culinary herbs and spices were evaluated via direct‐contact bioassays, both in vitro and in vivo, against three species of phytopathogenic fungi and one obligatory biotrophic fungus. Phenylpropanoid‐rich EOs presented the strongest antifungal activity in both bioassays with the phytopathogenic and the obligate ...
