Abstract

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.

阿根廷卡塔马卡省的小茴香籽（Cuminum cyminum L.）精油对储藏玉米害虫嗜坐螨和疣孢镰刀菌的影响

通过气相色谱（GC）和气相色谱-质谱（GC/MS）分析，研究了产自阿根廷卡塔马卡省（Catamarca）的Cuminum cyminum L.精油成分及其杀虫和抗真菌活性，其中主要成分为：积雪醛（20.58 %）、ϒ-萜品烯（20.43 %）、对伞花烯（17.35 %）和β-蒎烯（13.75 %）。对 Motschulsky Satophilus zeamais 的杀虫活性进行了测试。结果表明，小茴香精油的致死浓度（LC）LC50 和 LC95 值分别为 66.39 μL/L 空气和 370.14 μL/L 空气。此外，在 4 μL/L 和 0.4 μL/L 浓度下，精油具有驱避作用；在 9.2 和 2.3 mg/L 浓度下，精油对乙酰胆碱酯酶活性的抑制率分别为 88.39 % 和 47.75 %。在 250、500 和 1000 μL/L 的浓度下，测试了对疣孢镰刀菌的抗真菌活性。最高浓度的小茴香精油对菌丝生长的抑制率约为 80%。轮纹霉菌的滞后期和生长速度受到很大影响，并呈现出浓度依赖性。这项研究的结果表明，小茴香精油可以作为一种天然替代品来控制玉米的主要害虫--玉米螟和轮纹霉菌。
