Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate essential oils (EOs) and their binary combinations with fungicideiprodione (Ip) as a potential fungicide against Sclerotium cepivorum Berk in order to reduce the amountof pesticide applied in garlic crops. Five essential oils (EOs) from different plants grown in Argentinawere studied: Tagetes minuta L. (Su), Tagetes filifolia L. (An), Origanum vulgare L. spp. Vulgare (OCom),Origanum x majoricum (OMen), and Laurus nobilis L. (Ba).
