Foenicolum vulgare, Carum carvi, Thymus vulgaris and Mentha piperita essential oils were tested for their effectiveness against Botrytis cinerea and Rhizopus stolonifer on artificial growth media. The chemical composition of the oils was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The growth of Botrytis cinerea and Rhizopus stolonifer was completely inhibited by Fennel and Black zira essential oils at relatively low concentrations (400-600 mlit/lit). Mean separate test (Duncan P<0.01) indicated essential oils of Fennel (76.29%) and black zira (74.85%) have the higher inhibition percentage of growth in Rhizopus and Botrytis fungus, respectively. Percentage of fungus spores germination were the lowest in medium Fennel and Black zira essential oils contained and were the highest in Thymus ones. As for GS and GS/MS analysis, dominant essential oil in Black zira was comin aldehyde and in Fennel was anethol that both have strong antifungal effect.
