Abstract Alternaria alternata causes leaf spot and black rot diseases in leaves and grapes of grapevines, respectively, and leads to huge economic losses in table grapes production. As natural antifungal agents, essential oils (EOs), which are generally recognized as safe substances, shows strong antifungal activity against fungal phytopathogens. The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition of Eucalyptus staigeriana EO and its in vitro and in vivo effects against A. alternata. The major compounds of E. staigeriana EO were citral (34.32%, of which 21.83% geranial and 12.49% neral), limonene (20.60%) and 1,8-cineole (12.33%). E. staigeriana EO exhibited the highest inhibitory activity on mycelial growth and conidial germination at 1 µL mL-1. Moreover, the EO was able to reduce the incidence and severity of leaf spot disease in leaves and black rot disease in table grapes caused by A. alternata. These results represent a possible alternative to reduce the use of synthetic molecules for the control of diseases in postharvest of table grapes and in vineyard.
