The study assessed Mentha piperita essential oil (MpEO) for its pesticidal efficacy against fungal and insect pests. The chemical profile of MpEO exhibited menthol () as major components. The MIC of MpEO against toxigenic fungal isolate Aspergillus flavus LHPCA-08 was recorded at mg/ml concentration and also checked aflatoxin B1 production at mg/ml concentration as well as showed broad spectrum fungitoxicity ( mg/ml) against all the tested moulds. |
