Abstract
Iridodial beta-monoenol acetate, isolated from the essential oil of Ne peta leucophylla Benth, and actinidine from N. clarkei Benth were scre ened for antifungal activities against Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus ochraceus, Penicillium citrinum, and Penicillium viridicatum, all kno wn mycotoxin-producing taxa, and Sclerotium rolfsii and Macrophomina p haseolina, potential soybean pathogens. Iridodial beta-monoenol acetat e was most effective against S. rolfsii, while actinidine was highly a ctive against M. phaseolina.
