This study evaluated, through in vitro assays, the effectiveness of four essential oils against five genera of phytopathogenic fungi. The results indicated significant control (P < 0.05) over colony growth of the Fusarium sp. genus with essential oils isolated from cinnamon, clove, and oregano, while the combined formulation showed no significant difference. In Ovulariopsis sp., the isolated oils demonstrated a control effect, but the combined formulation was ineffective. For Malbranchea sp., a superior effect was observed with clove, oregano oils, and the combined formulation at 48 hours, while cinnamon oil maintained results equivalent to the control. In the genera Penicillium sp. and Aspergillus sp., colony growth was controlled, highlighting the potential of these essential oils in the biological control of fast-proliferating phytopathogenic fungi. These findings emphasize the importance of further research to consolidate the use of natural fungicides in agriculture.
