Six essential oils (EOs) extracted from plants originating in Serbia were assayed for
inhibitory and fungicidal activity against a major fungal pathogen of button mushroom
causing green mould disease, Trichoderma agressivum f. europaeum. The strongest activity
was demonstrated by the oils of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) and peppermint (Mentha piperita
L.). Medium antifungal activity of St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) and walnut
[Juglans regia (F)] oils was also recorded. Oils extracted from yarrow (Achillea millepholium
L.) and juniper (Juniperus communis L.) exhibited the lowest activity. Peppermint oil showed
fungicidal effect on the pathogen, having a minimum fungicidal concentration of 0.64 μl
ml-1. The main components of peppermint essential oil were menthone (37.02%), menthol
(29.57%) and isomenthone (9.06%). Ispitana je inhibitorna i fungicidna aktivnost šest etarskih ulja ekstrahovanih iz biljaka
poreklom iz Srbije na Trichoderma agressivum f. europaeum. Patogen je prouzrokovač zelene
plesni šampinjona, bolesti koja nanosi najviše štete u prinosu. Najveću aktivnost je ispoljilo
ulje bosiljka (Ocimum basilicum L.) i pitome nane (Mentha piperita L.). Niža aktivnost je uočena
kod ulja kantariona (Hypericum perforatum L.) i oraha [Juglans regia (F)]. Ulja ekstrahovana iz
hajdučke trave (Achillea millepholium L.) i kleke (Juniperus communis L.) ispoljila su najmanju
aktivnost. Ulje pitome nane je ispoljilo fungicidni efekat na patogena, sa minimalnom
fungicidnom koncentracijom od 0.64 μl ml-1. Najzastupljenije komponente etarskog ulja
nane su bile menton (37.02%), mentol (29.57%) i izomenton (9.06%).
