| description | <i>Fusarium</i> wilt, a vascular syndrome in a wide range of plants, is caused by the pathogen <i>Fusarium Oxysporum</i>. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the antifungal effect of four essential oils (EOs) (<i>Plectranthus amboinicus</i>, <i>Syzygium aromaticum</i>, <i>Lippia alba</i>, and <i>Rosmarinus officinalis</i>), which were obtained by using microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (MAH), against <i>F. oxysporum</i>. The yield obtained from <i>P. amboinicus</i> with the use of MAH was 0.2%, which was higher than that of a conventional extraction; its extraction time was also shorter. For concentrations of 100 and 300 μL/L, <i>P. amboinicus</i> caused an inhibition rate of 27.2 and 55.7%, respectively, while <i>S. aromaticum</i> caused an inhibition rate of 23.1 and 87.3%, respectively. It was observed that increasing the concentration also increased the % inhibition rate. The extracts of <i>L. alba</i> and <i>R. officinalis</i> caused an inhibition rate of 14.5 and 14.7% at 500 µL/L, respectively, at 10 days of incubation, while at this concentration, <i>P. amboinicus</i> and <i>S. aromaticum</i> achieved 100%. The major chemical compounds of <i>P. amboinicus</i> were carvacrol (41.20%), o-cymene (11.61%), caryophyllene (11.45%), α-bergamotene (7.71%), and caryophyllene oxide (4.62%), and these monoterpene hydrocarbons were responsible for the biological activity. The essential oil of <i>P. amboinicus</i> in appropriate concentrations is a potent antifungal agent that could be used for the control of <i>F. oxysporum</i>. |
