Abstract
Objective: The aim of this experiment was to observe and study the effects of two anti-fungus essences. Methods: Thymus vulgaris and Thymus kotschyanus, against two fungi pathogens Botrytis cinerea and Rhizopus stolonifere, and the quality of strawberries after cropping. This study is performed in two assays, in vitro and in vivo. A treatment consists: control, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000 µl/l. Results: The results of in vitro assay showed both essential oils had inhibitory effect even at low concentration also best inhibitory effect occurred at 1000 µl/l of Thymus kotschyanus for Rhizopus stolonifere. The in vivo assay showed that the strawberries groomed by the two plants essences have a higher enzymatic level of CAT and SOD. Therefore these plants essences can replace the chemical anti-fungi medicines used to control the fungi related diseases on agricultural crops due to their anti-fungus effects but still a lot more research needs to be done in order to reach a proper formulation.
