Fumigant antifungal activity of essential oil components from Acorus gramineus against three phytopathogenic fungi.
Analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry led to the identification of 26 compounds in Acorus gramineus essential oil. The antifungal activity of the identified compounds was tested singularly by using standard compounds. Allyl isothiocyanate and cis-asarone showed inhibition rates of 100% against P. cactorum at 28 mg/l air. In a test with C. parasitica and E. circinatum, allyl isothiocyante and cis-asarone showed moderate activity at 28 mg/l air.
