Résumé:
This work aims to study the effect of Achillea ligustica essential oils and know if this oil can inhibit
the growth of bacteria, and fungi, and stop insect infestation.
In this study, hydrodistillation was used to obtain essential oils (EOs) from Achillea ligustica. The
ant ifungal, antibacterial, and anti-insect activities of Achillea essential oils at various concentrations
(10- 30 - 60 and 100) ul were evaluated in vitro against E. coli, StaphyloccoC'us sp., and on two fo.ngal
strains isolated from Branches, stems, and leaves of Cock oak tree, and Corn leaf aphid.
The results show that most doses of essential oils of A. ligustica were active, and the dose of 100 ul is
the most effective.
The essential oil of Achillea ligustica shows remarkable antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-insect
effects. This is a recognized leap for the future of natural therapy.
