| description | The purpose of the study was to investigate the antifungal activity of essential oils derived from the Zingiberaceae family, such as <i>Zingiber officinale</i> Roscoe, <i>Alpinia officinarum</i>. Hance, and <i>Curcuma longa</i> Linn., against <i>Phytophthora parasitica</i> Dastur, (the pathogen that causes root and stem rot diseases). In vitro antifungal activity was measured using poisoned food technologies at a final concentration of 1000 mg/L in a completely randomized design with triplications. The essential oil of <i>A. officinarum</i> demonstrated the highest antifungal activity against <i>P. parasitica</i>, according to findings (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was also used to analyze the oil. Twenty constituents representing 99.1% of the total content were identified. Eucalyptol was the most abundant component in <i>A. officinarum</i> rhizome oil (52%). The oil’s half-inhibitory concentration (IC<sub>50</sub>) of 432.89 mg/L had higher antifungal activity than eucalyptol (>1000 mg/L). The results suggested that <i>A. officinarum</i> oil should be expanded further for a new generation of fungicides as an environmentally acceptable agent and to reduce the use of chemicals in crop protection. |
