Application


  • Comprehensive antifungal investigation of natural plant extracts against Neosartorya spp. (Aspergillus spp.) of agriculturally significant microbiological contaminants and shaping their metabolic profile.: This research examines various plant extracts, including tea tree oil, for their effectiveness in inhibiting fungal pathogens in agriculture, which could lead to safer crop preservation and disease management strategies (Frąc et al., 2024).

  • Comparison of Approaches for Authentication of Commercial Terpinen-4-ol-type Tea Tree Oils Using Chiral GC/MS.: The paper discusses methods to authenticate and ensure the purity of commercial tea tree oil, crucial for maintaining its therapeutic efficacy and safety (Downey et al., 2024).

  • Ovicidal, larvicidal and adulticidal activity of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) essential oil and tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) against Haemonchus contortus.: This research evaluates the efficacy of tea tree oil in combination with black pepper oil as a natural remedy for controlling parasitic worms, suggesting an eco-friendly alternative to chemical anthelmintics (El-Dakhly et al., 2024).
