Antifungal activity of cedrus deodara root oil against various fungal isolates.
Baqai J Health Sci Jan ;16(12):11-4.

Antifungal activity of Cedrus deodara root oil against Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani and Macrophomina phaseolina has been investigated using disc diffusion and well method. The maximum zone of inhibition of 6 mm was noted for Rhizoctonia solani for oil concentrations of 160 and 170 µg/disc while only 5 mm for 100, 120 and 140 µg/disc, respectively by disc diffusion method. No significant response has been observed against Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Macrophomina phaseolona, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus. However, Aspergillus flavus showed maximum zone of inhibition of 8 mm for 210 µg and 7 mm for the concentration of 190 µg using well method where as the oil did not show any response against Aspergillus niger using well method.
