Abstract
, with pure individual components produced by C. fimbriata. The benzaldehyde, nonanal, 2-Phenylethanol, and isoamyl acetate from C. fimbriata can effectively inhibit growth of A. alternata, and delay disease. It has the potential to be developed as a new type of fumigant, a potential replacement for fungicides in the future.
