| Popis: | Fusariosis of the pineapple is an aggressive disease which needs to be controlled during postharvest. Essential oils have been studied with the intention of incorporating them into integrated pest management, to avoid or reduce the use of synthetic fungicides. In-vitro assays showed that thyme oil was the best essential oil for controlling mycelial growth of Fusarium verticillioides. Because of its fungicidal effect, four concentrations of thyme oil (100, 250, 500 and 1000 μL L−1) were tested in-vivo. The results showed that after 21 d at 8 °C plus 7 d of shelf-life at 20 °C, the reduction of the severity of F. verticillioides on pineapples treated with 1000 μL L−1 of thyme oil (50.1%) was higher (p |
