Effect of cumin seed (Cuminum cyminum L.) essential oil from Catamarca, Argentina, on the stored maize pests Sitophilus zeamais and Fusarium verticillioides
The essential oil composition of Cuminum cyminum L. from Catamarca province, Argentina, and its insecticide and antifungal activities were studied, with the major constituents detected by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) being: cuminaldehyde (20.58 %), ϒ-terpi...

| description | The essential oil composition of Cuminum cyminum L. from Catamarca province, Argentina, and its insecticide and antifungal activities were studied, with the major constituents detected by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) being: cuminaldehyde (20.58 %), ϒ-terpinene (20.43 %), p-cymene (17.35 %) and β-pinene (13.75 %). Insecticidal activity was tested against Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky. The results showed that cumin oil lethal concentrations (LC) LC50 and LC95 values were 66.39 μL/L air and 370.14 μL/L air, respectively. Moreover, the essential oil had a repellent effect at 4 μL/L and 0.4 μL/L and an inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity of 88.39 % and 47.75 % at concentrations of 9.2 and 2.3 mg/L, respectively. Antifungal activity against Fusarium verticillioides was tested at 250.500 and 1000 μL/L. For the highest concentration of cumin essential oil, the mycelia growth was inhibited by around 80 %. Lag phase and growth rate of F. verticillioides was affected considerably and showed concentration dependence. The results obtained in this study revealed the possible use of cumin oil as a natural alternative in controlling S. zeamais and F. verticillioides, the main pests of stored maize. |

Se estudió la composición del aceite esencial de Cuminum cyminum L. de la provincia de Catamarca, Argentina, y su actividad insecticida y antifúngica. Los principales constituyentes detectados por GC y GC/MS fueron: cuminaldehído (20,58 %), ϒ-terpineno (20,43 %), p-cimeno (17,35 %) y β-pineno (13,75 %). La actividad insecticida se evaluó contra Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky. Los resultados mostraron valores de concentración letal (CL) CL50 y CL95 del aceite de comino de 66,39 μL/L y 370,14 μL/L de aire, respectivamente. Además, el aceite esencial tuvo un efecto repelente a 4 μL/L y 0,4 μL/L y una inhibición de la actividad acetilcolinesterasa de 88,39 % y 47,75 % a concentraciones de 9,2 y 2,3 mg/L, respectivamente. La actividad antifúngica contra Fusarium verticillioides se evaluó a 250 500 y 1000 μL/L. En el caso de la concentración más alta de aceite esencial de comino, se observó una inhibición del desarrollo fúngico de aproximadamente 80 %. La fase de latencia y la tasa de crecimiento de F. verticillioides se vieron afectadas considerablemente y fueron dosis-dependiente. Los resultados obtenidos en este estudio revelaron el posible uso del aceite de comino como alternativa natural en el control de S. zeamais y F. verticillioides, principales plagas delmaíz almacenado.
