Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Citronella oil at 90% concentration showed fungicidal activity in vitro, the most effective concentration.
- Intervention effect Citronella oil at 90% concentration completely inhibited mycelial growth in vitro.
- Intervention effect Fruit decay and percent fruit decay were significantly reduced by 90% Citronella essential oil compared with the control in vivo.
- Intervention effect No significant differences occurred between exposure lengths of 90% Citronella essential oil.
- Recommendation Citronella essential oil can potentially control stem-end rot in mangoes.
