Summary of Óleo essencial de alecrim-do-mato pode controlar fungos

00:00:00 - 00:10:00

In the YouTube video "Óleo essencial de alecrim-do-mato pode controlar fungos," researcher Douglas Brito from Embrapa Semiárido in Pernambuco discusses the potential of essential oils from wild matrimony basil and wild caraway to control fungi and bacteria in agriculture. The oils have shown effectiveness against various types of fungi and bacteria, and researchers are formulating them for post-harvest application, particularly in mango farming. Essential oils can also be used during the pre-harvest stage and require proper formulation and application to adhere to fruit surfaces and protect against fungus. The essential oil of matricaria is particularly effective against fungus and bacteria but has been a challenge to use in post-harvest applications due to its volatility. Researchers are working on formulating the oils for wider application in crops like mango, grapes, and others that face similar issues. The essential oils act as protective films around the fruit surface and require the addition of coadjuvants to improve adherence. The research is currently in testing phases, and it's expected that within the next few years, these technologies will be available in the market and help significantly in agriculture.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Óleo essencial de alecrim-do-mato pode controlar fungos" (Essential oil of wild matrimony basil can control fungi), Douglas Brito, a researcher from Embrapa Semiárido in Pernambuco, discusses the potential of essential oil extracted from wild matrimony basil to control fungi and bacteria in agriculture. The oil has shown effectiveness in various studies against different types of fungi and bacteria, and researchers have formulated it for post-harvest application, particularly in mango farming. The biome where Embrapa Semiárido is located is rich in medicinal plants, and this effect of the essential oil against fungi and bacteria has proven to be very promising. The oil can also be used to control certain types of fungi in post-harvest mango production, and researchers are working on formulating it for wider application in other crops, such as mango, grapes, and others, which also face similar issues.
• 00:05:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Óleo essencial de alecrim-do-mato pode controlar fungos" (Essential oil of matricaria can control fungus), the speaker discusses the importance of adjusting the formula of essential oils for different fruits to ensure they adhere properly to the fruit surface and can effectively control fungus during post-harvest. The speaker also mentions that research has been conducted on using essential oils during the pre-harvest stage as well. The essential oil of matricaria is particularly effective in controlling any type of microorganism, including fungus and bacteria. However, the availability of the oil during the post-harvest stage has been a challenge, and researchers have also been working on applying the oil in larger quantities during the pre-harvest stage. The oil acts as a protective film around the fruit surface and requires the addition of coadjuvants to improve adherence. The essential oil of matricaria is volatile, so it needs to be properly formulated and applied to effectively protect the fruit.
• 00:10:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Óleo essencial de alecrim-do-mato pode controlar fungos" (Essential oil of wild caraway can control fungus), researchers discuss the properties of the essential oil that make it effective against fungi. The oil acts as a binder, keeping it in place on surfaces. The team of researchers, each with their expertise, contribute to the research to find a solution to the problem. The new technology coming from Catinga reveals the potential of the biome. The goal is to bring this technology to the market and expand its use in the future. The research is currently in testing phases for coatings, and while there have been positive results, it is not yet ready for commercialization. It is expected that within the next few years, this technology will be available in the market and will help significantly in our agriculture. The speaker then interviews Douglas Brito, a researcher from Embrapa Semiárido de Pernambuco, to discuss the topic further.
