Abstract
Investigation on the antifungal activity of naturally occurring citral containing essential oil of Litsea cubeba Pers. at various dilutions revealed the possibility of its utilization as an antifungal agent. The oil isolated from the fruits of L. cubeba was tested in vitro for its activity at different concentrations against Fusarium moniliforme, Fusarium solani, Alternaria alternata and Aspergillus niger. The oil was found to be effective against these fungal pathogens under laboratory screening. The antifungal activities of the oil increased with an increase in the concentration. Minimum effective concentrations of the oil against fungal pathogen was also different.
