However systematic investigation, of the antifungal.Activities of essential oils and their constituents predate.Those of the insecticidal properties. Kurita et al. (1981).Screened 40 such compounds against seven species of.Fungi (primarily food spoilage organisms), and Singh.Et al. (1980) similarly screened ve essential oils against. "22 species of fungi including both, human and plant.Pathogenic types. More recently Muller-Riebau et, al.(1995) screened nine essential oils against four species of.Plant, pathogenic fungi whereas Wilson et al. (1997).Screened 49 essential oils against the fruit pathogen.Botrytis cinerea. In the former study antifungal activity,,Was strongly associated with, Monoterpenic phenols especially.Thymol carvacrol eugenol, and, the in oils. Some.Of the essential oils and constituents found to be insecticidal.(e.g. Eugenol) were previously reported to be active.Against a range of plant pathogenic nematodes.(Sangwan et al, 1990), and most recently some essential.Oils were shown to e! Ectively inhibit, plant germinationSuggesting their potential use as bioherbicides (Dudai.Et al, 1999).
