(-)-Bornyl acetate (L-(-)-Bornyl acetate), isolated from hyssop oil, is a less active enantiomer of (+)-Bornyl acetate. (-)-Bornyl acetate possesses antifungal activity^[1] .

The wavy roots from seedlings exposed to (-)-bornyl acetate are significantly longer than those from seedlings exposed to ()-bornyl acetate^[1] .
(-)-Bornyl acetate (L-bornyl acetate), when applied individually to barley seedlings, reduced powdery mildew infection compared with controls not containing ether^[2] .

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
