In vitro effect of essential oils on Mushroom pathogen Mycogone perniciosa causal agent of Wet Bubble Disease of White Button Mushroom.
Aprna Sabharwal, S. Kapoor
Abstract :
Clove, castor, eucalyptus, olive, citrullina oil and Cinnamic aldehyde were tested for their antifungal activity against Mycogone perniciosa causal agent of wet bubble disease of Agaricus bisporus. Cinnamic aldehyde and Eucalyptus oil were found to substantially inhibit the growth of M. perniciosa, having a fungicidal effect at a concentration of 2.5 and 5 μlL–1 for cinnamic aldehyde and 2.5, 7.5 μlL–1 for Eucalyptus oil, it was also found that at these concentration lower toxicity towards host strains was demonstrated. This clearly suggests that essential oils can be introduced in mushroom industry either for prophylactic control or to replace the use of synthetic fungicides to prevent losses due to wet bubble disease
