Thyme essential oils showed significant antifungal efficacy against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, achieving complete growth inhibition.
The highest carvacrol content was found in Origanum vulgare subsp. hirtum, reaching 88.12% in its essential oil.
Assessment using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry revealed phenolic monoterpenes as dominant constituents in the oils.
Results support thyme essential oils as environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical fungicides for plant disease management.
