Natural essential oil from lemon grass and clove to control postharvest anthracnose in a mango orchard
This research aimed to study the efficiency of essential oil from lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratusStapf.) and clove (Eugenia caryophyllus) on controlling postharvest anthracnose of mango fruit, ‘Nam Dok Mai’, caused byColletotrichum gloeosporiodes.The experiment was conducted at Rajamangala University of Technology, Suvarnnabhumi,AyudhyaHuntra using completely randomized design with three replicates. There were eight treatments:lemon grass oil and clove oil at 4,000, 5,000 and 6,000 ppm, compared with carbendazim at 1,000 ppm and non-chemical control spraying. The best control was achieved by spraying with lemon grass oil at 5,000 ppm. The result showed an alternative way to control post-harvest anthracnose of mango fruit as a substitute for chemical treatments.
