%X Thymol, the key component of the thyme oil and its derivatives were evaluated for their structure activity relationship as fungicide against <i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Rhizoctonia solani</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">. Since plant</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">-</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">based chemicals are considered as ˇ°Generally Recognized as Safeˇ± (GRAS)</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">chemicals, there is great potential to use those and synthetic derivatives against </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">R. solani</span></i></span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> </span></i><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">and other fungal pathogens, </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">in vitro</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, and in the&nbsp;greenhouse or field conditions. Among the six thymol derivatives evaluated, thymol acetate was considered as the most suitable commercially viable plant</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">-</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">based fungicide due to its superior efficacy as well as lowest residue.</span>
