Antifungal activity of clove (Syzygium aromaticum L.) essential oil against phytopathogenic fungi of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L) in Algeria.

Present study was conducted to find the efficiency of Syzygium aromaticum [L.] essential oil in management of three pathogenic fungus viz Fusarium oxysporum f.sp radicis lycopercisi, F. commune and F. redolens. The yield of hydro-distilled essential oil was also computed (7.49%) in study. The results of study revealed moderate to high level antifungal activities against tested microorganisms at all the tested concentration. The highest antifungal activity was recorded at 1µLml -1 ; on this concentration clove essential oil caused complete growth inhibition of F. oxysporum f.sp radicis lycopercisi and F. redolens while the highest antifungal activity of oil against F. commune was observed at 0.5 µLml -1 .
