Abstract:
The present invention relates to phytosanitary compositions with fungicidal properties that comprise one essential oil obtained from plants selected from oregano oil (Origanum vulgare) and thyme oil (Thymus vulgaris) or its active compounds carvacrol at a concentration between 0.1 and 530 ppm or thymol at a concentration between 0.31 and 530 ppm, or a combination thereof; and (2) potassium carbonate at a concentration between 3.5 and 25 mM, and an agent with known fungicidal properties for use, principally, in contact-protection against fungal infections in cultivated plants and post-harvest, and also in other antifungal applications. In said compositions, the effect of the agents that have known fungicidal properties is potentiated synergistically by the aforementioned essential oils.
