The effect of heksenal and nonenal on growth and development of fhree isolates of Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. f. sp. callistephi (Foc), f. sp. dianthi (Fod) and f. sp. narcissi (Fon) was investigated. Heksenal added PDA (Merck) at the concentration of 100 μg/cm³ limited the growth of Foc, Fod and Fon by 45%. Effectiveness of the tested product was positively correlated with the increase of its concentration, however even at a maximal concentration of heksenal (300 μg/cm³) mycelial growth of Foc, Fod and Fon was still not inhibited in full. Nonenal at the concentration of 300 μg/cm³ totally inhibited the mycelium growth of Foc, Fod and Fon. The spore germination of Foc and Fod was totally inhibited at the concentration of heksenal and nonenal of 300 μg/cm³ of the compound however, colony forming units of Fon did not develop at the concentration of 400 μg/cm³ of tested product in selective Komada’s medium.
