Abstract

This study evaluated the antifungal effect of essential oils obtained from Citrus sinensis (orange) and Citrus nobilis (mandarine) leaves and pericarp on the growth of fungi (Rhizopus stolonifer and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) isolated from papaya Maradol. A statistical analysis with a factorial block arrangement A(2)xB(2)xC(3) with two repetitions was made, considering: Factor A: essential oils (Citrus sinensis and Citrus nobilis), Factor B: essential oil source (leaves and pericarp), Factor C: Concentrations (1%, 2% y 4%). During seven days fungi radial growth was evaluated, and after this spore counting was carried out in the Neubauer chamber (haemocytometer). For data analysis StatGraphics was used and for determining the treatments’ level means, significance Tukey test (p<0.05) was made. The best results inhibiting radial growth, and spores were: essential oil from Citrus sinensis (a0), obtained from the leaves (b0) with 4% oil concentration in the solution used (c2) in the microorganisms Rhizopus stolonifer and Colletorichum gloeosporioides.
