Mexico is center of diversity of species of Tagetes, genus of broad spectrum of
biological action but limited information. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal
activity of essential oils (EO) and aqueous extracts (AE) of five species of Tagetes, in one isolate
of the fungus Monilinia fruticola and 10 isolates of Sclerotium rolfsii. EO and AE were
evaluated at 0.1% and 2% respectively, incorporated into PDA medium. In S. rolfsii mycelial
growth was inhibited in all isolates with EO of T. filifolia and T. lucida AE. In all treatments the
production of sclerotia was minor than in the control. Treatment with T. lucida EO the
production of esclerotia was inhibited in all isolates and with the rest of the species the
response was variable and in some cases stimulatory. In M. fruticola, treatment with T. lucida
AE inhibited mycelial growth but their EO was fungistatic. The EO of all species of Tagetes and
AE of T. foetidissima, T. lucida and T. erecta inhibited M. fructicola sporulation. AE of T. filifolia
and T. coronopifolia stimulated sporulation of this fungus.
