ANTIFUNGAL PROPERTIES OF CORIANDRUM SATIVUM EXTRACTS ON FUSARIUM SPP. IN VITRO

Fusarium spp. cause significant plant diseases and are responsible for food contamination with mycotoxins. Sustainable crop protection relies on a combination of different measures; among others, plants contain bioactive compounds providing antifungal antimicrobial properties. Coriander seed extracts have composition rich in fatty acids, sterols, essential oils, polyphenols etc. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the properties coriander oil extract F. culmorum oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici vitro. The was obtained by Clevenger apparatus CO2 extraction method. A potato dextrose agar medium enriched inoculated discs, incubated radial growth colonies measured 3 7 days after inoculation. Results revealed that had higher than extract. No colony observed at 1000 µL/L concentration oil. In contrast, moderate properties, which were culmorum. Both showed potential be used as thus could help make more sustainable.
