Table 3.

Percent of inhibition (%) of essential oils and the major constituent citronellal (0.47 mg·mL−1) in PDA in the micelia development of P. grisea, Aspergillus spp., and C. musae, after 14 days.

Essential oils Fungi
P. grisea Aspergillus spp. C. musae
C. nardus 61 ± 1.1b 57 ± 2.4b 100 ± 2.9a
C. citriodora 65± 1.4b 66 ± 1.9b 95 ± 3.2a
Citronellal 55 ± 1.0b 100 ± 1.3a 100 ± 2.6a

aValues are the mean of three replicates ± SE. Where the letters are the same, there is no significant difference between the fungal species at this concentration (0.47 mg·mL−1).
