Soft rotting caused by Rhizopus stolonifer is one of the most important postharvest decays in Kokei No. 14 organic sweet potato roots. While various methods have been explored for controlling this pathogen, there remains a need effective, safe, and applicable alternatives, particularly using essential oils (EOs). This study evaluated efficacy EOs, specifically carvacrol, thymol, thyme oil, soft rot. We conducted both vitro vivo tests to assess their effects on fungal mycelial growth, spore germination, incidence severity rot potatoes, along with quality evaluations The results indicated that vapor phase oil was more effective than contact inhibiting growth germination. In revealed all three EOs significantly reduced rot, thymol at 300 mg/L, carvacrol 500 mg/L being effective. Quality assessments showed minimal impact properties such as firmness, weight loss, color, starch, carotenoids, flavonoids, although residual odors increased. GC/MS analysis confirmed contained high levels other antimicrobial compounds, suggesting cumulative activity these volatile compounds enhanced bacteriostatic effects. Thyme demonstrated greater reducing development compared its individual components, making it promising biofumigant diseases These findings emphasized potential safe approach managing decay.
