The chemical composition of essential oils obtained from the leaves of Pistacia vera, Pistacia terebinthus, Pistacia lentiscus and the resin of Pistacia lentiscus were analyzed by GC and GG-MS. alpha-Pinene, beta-pinene, limonene, terpinen-4-ol and alpha-terpineol were found to be the major components. The antifungal activities of the above oils and P lentiscus resin (total, acidic and neutral fractions) against the growth of three agricultural pathogens, Pythium ultimum, Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium sambucinum were evaluated. Some doses of R terebinthus, P vera and P lentiscus leaf oils and total and neutral fraction of P lentiscus resin significantly inhibited the growth of R. solani. However, all samples did not show antifungal activity against P ultimum and E sambucinum, but increased the growth of F sambucinum. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
