Fruit rot disease caused by Fusarium musae is one of the post-harvest diseases of banana and is adversely affects the fruit quality and the market value. In present study various essential oils were screened to know their bio efficacy in controlling the Fusarium fruit rot of banana. Among various oils (5 %) screened against Fusarium fruit rot of banana, the Lowest fusarium fruit rot severity was recorded under the application of eucalyptus oil at 5 percent both in pre inoculation (10.57%) and post-inoculation (13.00%) methods at 8th day after inoculation and it was found at par with neem oil and safflower oil at 5 percent
