Overview

Assessment reveals antifungal effects of castor seed, palm kernel, and soybean oil against fungal pathogens.

Key Points

  • Castor oil showed the highest effectiveness, inhibiting mycelial growth of aspergillus species significantly.
  • Aspergillus flavus was the most commonly isolated pathogen, occurring in 45% of samples analyzed.
  • Extraction of oils followed a Soxhlet method, assessing their impact on fungal growth via inhibition rates.
  • Using plant oils for controlling fungal pathogens may provide sustainable agricultural practices for preserving fruit quality.
