Table 3

Percent of spore germination inhibition of toxigenic Aspergillus flavus by essential oils using fungal spore germination assay.

Concentration (𝜇L/mL)	C. martinii	F. vulgare	T. ammi
0.25	49.57 ± 0.02^c	32.57 ± 1.20^d	88.14 ± 0.34^c
0.5	75.14 ± 0.01^b	45.71 ± 1.93^c	94.86 ± 0.34^b
1	98.57 ± 0.00^a	81.14 ± 1.50^b	100.00 ± 0.00^a
2	100.00 ± 0.00^a	99.80 ± 0.00^a	100.00 ± 0.00^a
4	100.00 ± 0.00^a	100.00 ± 0.00^a	100.00 ± 0.00^a

Spore percent inhibition values are expressed as mean ± SD. Mean value with different letters in the same column are significantly different (P < 0.05).
