Fumigant Antifungal Activity of Corymbia citriodora and Cymbopogon nardus Essential Oils and Citronellal against Three Fungal Species

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 ± 1.1^b	57 ± 2.4^b	100 ± 2.9^a
C. citriodora	65± 1.4^b	66 ± 1.9^b	95 ± 3.2^a
Citronellal	55 ± 1.0^b	100 ± 1.3^a	100 ± 2.6^a

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).
