Studies regarding vegetal extracts and essential oils from native plants have demonstrated efficiency in controlling phytopathogens of fungitoxic action, hampering the development of phytopathogenic fungi. This study aims to determine the fungicide effect of vegetal extracts during the mycelial growth of the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary. The experiment was conducted in the phytosanitary laboratory of the UEMS in the unit of Cassilândia-MS, Brazil. A completely randomized design was used with a factorial scheme 4 x 5, comprising leaves, bark, and branches of cinnamon and mint leaves in the concentrations of 0, 2.5, 5.0, 10, and 20%, with six repetitions per treatment. The evaluations were made 24, 48, and 96 hours after the transplant, obtaining the diametrically opposite means with a caliper to determine the measures. The results indicate a higher inhibitory efficiency against fungi development using extracts of mint leaves and cinnamon leaves and branches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
