Uncovering the antifungal components from turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) essential oil as Aspergillus flavus fumigants by partial least squares

“…30 When treating stored products, fumigation results in fewer residues than direct co-incubation with contaminated commodities, which is important in elimination of insect pests and inhibition of fungal growth. 31,32 Herein, we evaluate the fumigant antifungal activities of volatiles from turmeric essential 35 oil against A. flavus growth and aflatoxins production for the first time. Twenty-four samples of turmeric sourced from different areas were evaluated for their antifungal activity with 100 µL essential oils per plate in fumigation.…”

Bioactivity of <i>Cinnamomum cassia</i> （<i>Laurales：lauraceae</i>） Bark Extract on <i>Lasioderma serricorne</i> (<i>Coleoptera: anobiidae</i>)

“…Botanical pesticides may provide potential alternatives to currently used synthetic pesticides because they are natural source of bioactive chemicals with complicated action mechanism, to which the insect pests are difficult to produce resistance, readily biodegradable, often less toxic to mammalian, and with less or negligible danger to the environment if used in suitable amounts. Particularly, Due to the unacceptable high cost and difficulty of researching and developing new synthetic pesticides, recent research has focused on natural product alternatives for pest control in developing countries and for organic food production in developed countries (Boekea et al, 2004;Isman, 2006Isman, , 2008Liu et al, 2007;Rajendran and Sriranjini, 2008;Nerio et al, 2009).…”
