Antifungal properties of some essential oils have been well documented. Clove oil is reported to have strong antifungal activity against many fungal species. In this study we have evaluated antifungal potential of essential oil of Syzygium aromaticum (L.) against some common fungal pathogens of plants and animals namely, Fusarium moniliforme NCIM 1100, Fusarium oxysporum MTCC 284, Aspergillus s...

In this study, we evaluate the olfactory responses of Mahanarva spectabilis adults to aqueous extracts from following non-host plants for pest insect: garlic (Allium sativum L.), rue (Ruta graveolens cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum J. Presl), lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus Stapf.), clove (Syzygium aromaticum star anise (Illicium Hook.f), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus Labill.), tobacco (Nicotiana ...

The study was conducted to determine whether dietary supplemental plant extracts could have the potential as alternative growth promoters to antibiotics. One hundred and five, 1-day-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were used in the experiment. The animals were allocated into seven dietary treatments groups in a complete randomized design. The groups were as follow: 1. Control (basal diet), 2....

The essential oil (EO) of clove bud dried fruits from Eugenia caryophyllus was obtained by a conventional hydrodistillation process in an excellent yield (11.7 %). Its chemical composition was analyzed by GC-MS, identifying eugenol as a main constituent (60.5%). Four eugenol-like molecules, γ-diisoeugenol, hydroxymethyleugenol, dihydroeugenol and 1,3-dioxanylphenol, were synthesized using eugen...

Antifungal activity of essential oils (EOs) of Zataria multiflora (thyme) and Syzygium aromaticum (clove) against Aspergillus flavus growth and aflatoxin B1 production was studied in potato dextrose agar (PDA) and potato dextrose broth (PDB), as well as in Iranian white cheese as a food model. The results showed that the inhibitory potential of EOs in the PDB medium is more than PDA medium. Clo...

Essential oils can inhibit growth of several phytopathogenic fungi agricultural concern, such as Sclerotium spp. which causes root and collar rots, hampering the absorption water nutrients. Natural have short persistence in environment low toxicity, comprising compounds safer than conventional agrochemicals. Within context integrated management diseases, essential may benefit health farmers, co...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect essential oils Syzygium aromaticum, Cymbopogon citratus, Eucalyptus citriodora and Rosmarinus officinalis on mycelial development fungus Colletotrichum sp. in fragments Feijoa sellowiana fruits. were incorporated PDA (Potato-Dextrose-Agar) medium concentrations 250, 500 1000 ppm, 0 ppm (PDA only) (negative control), fungicide fluazinam 1% (positiv...

BACKGROUND Obesity and overweight are consistently associated with metabolic disorders including hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. Herbal medicines have been currently suggested as an alternative source of potentially useful antihyperglycemic, antihyperlipidemic, antioxidant activities. The objective of this study was to assess the in vitro inhibitory effects of eleven herbal medicines on carbo...
