The process of minimizing the manifestation of storage diseases of fruits by using treatments with biological products is a basic premise in the development of organic agriculture. On 01.03.2022, inoculations were made on a culture medium established using a proprietary recipe that supports the growth and development of any living organism. The culture medium represents the physical and chemical support necessary for the growth and development of any living organism, including pathogenic ones. It also must respond, through its composition, to the nutritional and hormonal requirements of the organism in question. The experiment consisted of a micro dilution of fennel essential oil (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) in the composition of biopreparations, made according to a proprietary recipe, that were used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). MBC corresponds to the minimum concentration of sample that can kill the microorganism. The same micro dilution experiment derived from the MIC determination was used.
