Brazil, a vital pineapple producer, faces phytosanitary challenges, mainly due to fusariosis caused by Fusarium guttiforme, which can lead to significant harvest losses. The frequent use of chemical fungicides has disadvantages because they are environmental contaminants. One option to avoid using these compounds is essential oils, which are of natural origin, biodegradable and have notable activity in controlling numerous pathogens. Thus, the present research aimed to evaluate in vitro the potential of citronella essential oil to control the fungus F. guttiforme. The chemical identification of the essential oil components was conducted using gas chromatography with flame ionization detectors and mass spectrometry. The main compounds identified in citronella essential oil were citronellal (35.70%), geraniol (24.63%) and citronellol (15.98%). It was clear that the concentration of 1.050 μL mL−1 of citronella essential oil promoted 100% inhibition of mycelial growth, with no statistically significant difference when compared to the positive control (Tecto® SC). These results confirm citronella essential oil's remarkable in vitro potential in controlling the fungus F. guttiforme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
