Abstract :In this study, fungicidal and fungistatic effects of thyme insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Thymus vulgaris L.);, cumin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cuminum cyminum L.);, juniper insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ju-niperis communis L.);, mint insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mentha piperita L.);, picling herb insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Echinophora tenuifolia L.);, eucalyptus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Eucalyptus sp.); and Medicinal tea insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Artemisia sp.); essential oils were investigated against Alternaria mali Roberts, Fusarium oxysporum Synder & Hansen, Botrytis cinerea Pers. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Libert); de Bary and Colletotrichum circinans insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Berk.); Vogl. in vitro conditions. Essential oils used at1l, 10 l ve 50 l/petri doses. Some of essential oils were exhibited at low degrees fungistatic effect against Fusarium oxysporum, Botrytis cinerea and Colletotrichum circinans while fungicidal effect was’nt observed on fungi at 1 ml/petri doses of essential oils. The other essen-tial oils with exception of picling herb and juniper essential oils completely inhibited mycelial growths of all fungi at 10 and 50l/petri doses, respectively. Furthermore, there were different in point of fungicidal effects among all essential oils. It could be seen that medicinal tea comes the first, when the essential oils put in order according to their fungicidal effects with 10 and 50 µl/plate doses. Thyme, mint, cumin, eucalyptus, juniper and pickling herb oils followed this oil, respectively.
