This study aimed to examine the antifungal activity of wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) essential oil on Colletotrichum musae and Lasiodiplodia theobromae, the causative organisms of anthracnose and crown-rot diseases of banana fruits, respectively. Chitin synthase is a promising target for antifungal compounds, since it is involved in synthesizing chitin, which forms a major proportion of the fungal cell wall. Disc volatilisation method was employed to assess the in vitro antifungal activity of the oil. The vapours of this essential oil at 4 μL per Petriplate exhibited 100% growth inhibition of both the fungal pathogens, and at 66.66 μLL−1 , it significantly (P
