Fungal diseases represent one of the major threats to citrus production, such as anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Fungal Trunk Diseases (FTDs) associated with Botryosphaeriaceae, with Neofusicoccum parvum being the most prevalent species. In response to the need to reduce chemical fungicide use, this study evaluated the antifungal activity of essential oil-based nanoemulsions (N-EOs) as alternative management methods. Seven N-EOs (citronella, clove, fennel, garlic, laurel
