Abstract:
The over-dependence on synthetic chemicals for crop protection has brought up a lot of challenges, including antimicrobial resistance, health hazards and  environmental toxicity. Essential oils have been reported for crop protection applications. Moreover, Previous studies have reported that in the combination of EOs, the  pathogens rarely develop resistance to multiple components of two or more. Foliar pathogens are responsible for more than 70% of Brassicaceae losses yearly. Our  invention demonstrates a synergistic combination of Monarda citriodora essential oil and isoeugenol for controlling the foliar pathogen of broccoli causing leaf spot.  The combination showed significant curative and protective effects against leaf spot compared to Bavistin.
