This study aimed to evaluate their ability to inhibit the growth of fungi isolated from the rot of banana peel (Musa paradisiaca) to control or reduce fungal growth in bananas. The methodology involved preparing dilutions of EOs and inoculating them onto Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) medium amended with chloramphenicol to prevent bacterial contamination. Fungal species, including Trichoderma spp., Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp., and Fusarium spp., were isolated, purified, and characterized macroscopically and microscopically. Their growth was assessed ex vivo and the inhibition percentage was measured in vitro. The ex vivo analysis revealed that the severity of fungal infection, ranked from highest to lowest, was as follows: Penicillium spp., Trichoderma spp., Fusarium spp., and Aspergillus spp. The results showed that rosemary and basil oils did not inhibit fungal growth, whereas clove oil, cinnamon, and oregano were effective against the four tested fungi at 800, 400, and 200 ppm, respectively. These findings suggest that certain EOs, including clove, cinnamon, and oregano, have strong antifungal potential and could serve as eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic fungicides in banana postharvest disease management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms13112477","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,29]],"date-time":"2025-10-29T17:38:22Z","timestamp":1761759502000},"page":"2477","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Essential Oils as an Antifungal Alternative to Control Several Species of Fungi Isolated from Musa paradisiaca: Part II"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4526-4195","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maritza D.","family":"Ruiz Medina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ciencias de Alimentos y Biotecnolog\u00eda (DECAB), Escuela Polit\u00e9cnica Nacional (EPN), Quito 170143, Ecuador"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jenny","family":"Ruales","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ciencias de Alimentos y Biotecnolog\u00eda (DECAB), Escuela Polit\u00e9cnica Nacional (EPN), Quito 170143, Ecuador"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1590\/0100-29452018574","article-title":"Propagaci\u00f3n del banano: T\u00e9cnicas tradicionales, nuevas tecnolog\u00edas e innovaciones","volume":"40","author":"Galan","year":"2018","journal-title":"Rev.
