Abstract
There
are various fungal disease factors that limit production in agricultural areas
and cause significant economic losses. Diseases such as wilt, root and crown
rot, blight and gray mold in agricultural products in the world are caused by
pathogenic fungi such as soil-borne Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Macrophomina
phaseolina, Verticilium dahliae and air-borne Botrytis cinerei. S.
sclerotiorum, one of these pathogens, is difficult to control because it
forms sclerotia, which are durable structures that enable it to survive in the
soil for a long time, and because it has a wide host range. It causes
significant productivity losses and economic damages in regions where
agricultural activities are carried out. One key contributing factor to the
issue is the resistance and contamination brought on by the pervasive and
unchecked use of antifungal medications. According to reports, the
aforementioned fungal infection condition calls for the hunt for novel and
potent antifungals, and this need is anticipated to grow with time. According
to current reports, the most significant sources in the hunt for novel
antifungal alternatives are natural compounds like plants and vegetable oils. Peppermint
Oil (PmO), Sesame Oil (SO), Onion Oil (OO), Garlic Oil (GO), Sweet Almond Oil
(SAO) Castor (Hint) Oil (CO), Coconut Oil (CnO), Clove Oil (ClO), Cacao Oil
(CcO), Thyme Oil (TO), Lemon Oil (LO), Juniper Oil (JO), Rosa Oil (RO), Ginger
Oil (GgO) and Agolich Oil (AO) herbal oils were used in this study. The
investigation of the antifungal effect of organoparticles synthesized from
these herbal oils against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, which causes root rot, was
reported for the first time in the literature. Synthesized organoparticles
Fourier Transform-Infrared (FTIR), size analysis (DLS), surface charge (ZETA
potential) devices. In addition, the bioactivity (antifungal and antioxidant)
properties of the particle were examined. The results of this study show that
organoparticles p(OO), p(CO) and p(AO) can be used in the control of root and
stem rot Sclerotinia sclerotiorum fungus.
