    Chemical composition of essential oil extracted from Pyrethrum leptophyllum Stev. ex Bieb., a plant of Caucasian endemic flora, was examined. Essential oil was extracted using a hydrodistillation method and above-ground portions of the plant (0.1%) during its blooming season. According to chromatospectrometer results, major compounds of essential oil are alpha-Thujone (85.004%) and beta-Thujone (10.566%). It has been determined that water extract and essential oil from Pyrethrum leptophyllum is responsible for antifungal activity against Trichoderma lignorum, Fusarium oxysporum, and Aspergillus niger.
