FUNGICIDE COMPOSITION BASED ON OILS OF CINNAMON (CINNAMOMUN ZEYLANICUM L.) CLOVE (SYZYGIUM AROMATICUM L.) GINGER (ZINGIBER OFFICINALE) AND PEPPER FOR THE HANDLE OF DISEASES IN CACAO PLANTS (THEOBROMA CACAO L.).
The present invention provides a process for the formulation of a vegetable composition acting as a bio-fungicide against the Moniliophathora roreri and Phytophthora spp. fungi damaging the fruits of the cacao plant, which consists in bringing the pathogen into contact with an effective amount of a compound comprising an inert vehicle and an essential active vehicle such as a compound at concentrations of 0.1% obtained by the mixture, in a ratio of 1:1:1:1 (V/V/V/V), of essential oils obtained from the dry bark of cinnamon plants (Cinnamomun zeylanicum) and dry fruits of the clover plant (Syzygium aromaticum L), ginger rhizomes (Zingiber officinale) and dry fruits of pepper (Pimienta dioica L.). The invention describes the obtention, by aqueous phase separation, of the essential oil in the form of a hydrolate from the dry bark of cinnamon plants (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) and the dry fruits of the clover plant (Syzygium aromaticum L), ginger rhizomes (Zingiber officinale) and dry fruits of pepper (Pimienta dioica L.). The invention also refers to the application of the spraying composition with motorized equipment in concentrations of 0.1% and doses of 300 liters by hectare of the product diluted in water.La presente invención proporciona un procedimiento para la formulación de una composición de origen vegetal con acción fungicida contra los hongos Moniliophthora roreri y Phytophthora spp. causantes de daños en los frutos y otras partes de la planta de cacao, el cual consiste en poner en contacto al patógeno con una cantidad efectiva de un compuesto que comprende un vehículo inerte y como ingrediente activo esencial un compuesto en concentración del 0.1%, obtenido por la mezcla 1:1:1:1 (v/v/v/v) de aceites esenciales obtenidos de la corteza seca de la planta de canela (Cinnamomun zeylanicum) y de frutos secos de la planta de clavo (Syzygium aromaticum L.), de rizomas de jengibre (Zingiber officinale) y de frutos secos de la planta de pimienta (Pimienta dioica L.)La in
