Antifungal Activity of Thirty Essential Oils to Control Pathogenic Fungi of Postharvest Decay.

This study evaluated the inhibitory effects of 30 essential oils (EOs) on the growth of fungal pathogens in crops. The EOs showed promising results in completely inhibiting the growth of some fungi and significantly reducing the growth of others. More research is needed to confirm these findings in real-life settings.
