In this present work, it was tested the linalool pattern and the essential oil extracted from the Aniba duckei Kostermans (rosewood) branches against the fungi Colletotrichum gloesporioides and Fusarium oxysporum. To do this, we extracted the essential oil by hydrodistillation and identified and quantified the components by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC/MS). We obtained and isolated the fungi by the routine plating method from hose and okra plants, respectively. The results of the chromatographic analysis showed that the oil had 93.60 % linalool and 3.03 % cis-linalool oxide. The essential oil and the standard inhibited mycelial growth by 100% at concentrations of 0.4 and 0.2% respectively. Therefore, the essential oil and the linalool pattern have antifungal action against the fungi demonstrated.
