Antifungal effects of Conyza bonariensis (L.) Cronquist essential oil against pathogenic Colletotrichum musae and its incorporation in gum Arabic coating to reduce anthracnose development in banana during storage.

Aim: This study evaluated the inhibitory effects on mycelial growth and damage on membrane integrity and enzymatic activity caused by Conyza bonariensis essential oil (CBEO) on distinct pathogenic Colletotrichum musae isolates, as well as the preventive and curative effects of coatings with gum Arabic (GA) and CBEO to reduce anthracnose development in banana during room temperature storage. The effects of GA-CBEO coatings on some physicochemical parameters of banana were investigated during room temperature storage.

Method And Results: CBEO (0.
