Abstract

Essential oils derived from seeds of five spice materials such as, Anethum graveolens, Carum copticum, Coriandrum sativum, Foeniculum vulgare and Pimpinella anisum (Family Umbelliferae) have been tested against five sugarcane pathogenic fungi. These oils have been found to possess strong antifungal activity. They are more potent than commercially available synthetic fungicides. Phytotoxic studies of these oils showed no adverse effect on seed germination and seedling growth of some common agricultural crops.
