Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Nigella oil seed coating gave the highest germination percentage of cumin seeds (42.88%), compared with 38.33% for the control.
- Intervention effect Caraway oil seed coating gave the lowest mean germination percentage of cumin seeds (4.44%).
- Intervention effect Nigella, peppermint and eucalyptus oils inhibited Fusarium (100% reduction).
- Intervention effect Caraway oil inhibited Aspergillus (100% reduction).
- Intervention effect Marjoram, peppermint, nigella and clove oils inhibited bacterial infection of cumin seeds.
- Intervention effect Caraway, celery, eucalyptus and jasmine oils suppressed the deterioration of cumin seeds by insects.
- Intervention effect All oils significantly reduced the percentage of seed-associated fungi, especially Fusarium and Aspergillus.
- Mechanism The fungicidal and insecticidal effect of caraway oil may come from its high carvone content (61.58%) and limonene (29.11%).
- Mechanism The bactericidal and insecticidal effect of marjoram oil may come from alpha-terpineol (35.4%).
- Association The most common storage fungi attacking stored cumin seeds led to a decrease in germination percentage.
- Intervention effect All oils increased germination percentage compared with vitavax, except caraway and clove oils.
