Essential oils of thyme (<scp><i>Thymus vulgaris</i></scp>) and oregano (<scp><i>Origanum vulgare</i></scp>) as an alternative for the control of pesticide‐resistant <scp><i>Fusarium</i> spp</scp>. in quinoa seeds
Despite both EOs successfully inhibiting microbial growth in the seeds, it was also found that thyme EO at 100 μL mL<sup>-1</sup> and oregano EO at 10 μL mL<sup>-1</sup> inhibited seed emergence and germination. However, lower concentrations exhibited a reduction in fungal population without affecting these germination indices. Therefore, it is suggested that the use of these compounds has potential in the treatment and disinfection of quinoa seeds. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
