Abstract

Fusarium solani is a soil pathogen and causes disease in several economically important crops. The development of research with essential oils is important. These present a diversity of active substances, with fungicidal properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of essential oils from Copaifera reticulata, Cymbopogon nardus, Origanum majorana, Allium sativum, Rosmarinus officinalis, Piper nigrum and Cymbopogon citratus on Fusarium solani. The oils were extracted using the technique of steam dragging, in a Clevenger apparatus. In Petri dishes containing essential oils and PDA medium, a fungal mycelium disc was added. After seven days, the mycelial growth, germination and sporulation of the fungus were evaluated. The essential oils of C. nardus, C. citratus and A. sativum were more efficient in controlling F. solani.
