Abstract Rhizoctonia solani Kühn and Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. are the primary soil-borne plant diseases responsible for significant reductions in global crop yields. The primary goal of this study was to investigate the antifungal potentials of clove essential oil (CEO), nanoemulsion form (CEONE) and chitosan/nanoemulsion nanocomposite (CS/CEONE) against R. solani and S. rolfsii through in vitro and in vivo trials. Both CEONE and CS/CEONE were prepared and investigated for their physical chemical and morphological characterization. The poisoned medium method was utilized to evaluate the inhibitory effects of CEO, CEONE and CS/CEONE on the mycelial growth and enzymatic activity of R. solani and S. rolfsii. The… More >
