Fungistatic activity of essential oils to Pythium irregulare and Pythium ultimum

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi utjecaj devet eteričnih ulja (čajevac, eukaliptus, čempres, citronela javanska, anis zvjezdasti, cimet kora, lavanda, bora, klinčić) na gljive Pythium irregulare i Pythium ultimum. Ulja su primjenjena u količinama 5 μl ,15 μl i 30 μl. Statistički najznačajniji negativni utjecaj na porast micelija Pythium irregulare i Pythium ultimum imalo je eterično ulje klinčića dok je naslabiji učinak utvrđen za ulja bora i čempresa.The aim of this study was to determine the effect of 9 essential oils (tea tree, eucalyptus, cypress, javanese citronella, star anise, cinnamon bark, lavender, pine, clove) on the fungi Pythium irregulare and Pythium ultimum. Different concentrations of essential oils 5 μl, 15 μl and 30 μl were applied. The statistically most significant inhibitory effect on the growth of mycelium had clove essential oils while the weakest effect was found for pine and cypress oils
