Tonda di Costigliole and plums cv. Italia and cv. TC Sun; however, the same treatments were phytotoxic for the carposphere of nectarines cv. Big Top and cv. Nectaross. Treatments with 10% (vol\/vol) essential oils were highly phytotoxic, notwithstanding their efficacy against the pathogens tested.<\/p>\n<p>The essential oils containing as major components \u03b1-pinene, p-cymene, carvacrol, and thymol showed similar results on stone fruit, so their antimicrobial activity and the phytotoxicity produced could be based on the concentration of their principal compounds and their synergistic activity.<\/p>\n<p>The efficacy of the essential oil treatments on control of fungal pathogens in postharvest depended on the fruit cultivar, the composition and concentration of the essential oil applied, and the length of storage.<\/p>\n<p>Article source: &#8216;Efficacy of plant essential oils on postharvest control of rots caused by fungi on different stone fruits in vivo&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>J Food Prot.
