shows B. cinerea colonies' diameters after 5 days of incubation. It can be seen that as the amount of essential oil decreased, the diameters of the colonies of mold increased, reaching amaximumgrowth in the controls (without essential oils), while minimal growth was observed in someof the combinations that include½MIC of clove essential oil. The effect of increasing essential oil concentration significantly affects (p b 0.05) B. cinerea colony diameter. Fig. 1 (left) illustrates the experimental
setup for these tests.
