The essential oil from the seeds of Cuminum cyminum L. was isolated by hydrodistillation method and the chemical composition was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The yield of the oil was found to be 3.0% (on dry weight basis). A total of twenty six components, representing 96.7% of the oil were identified. Cuminaldehyde (49.4%), p-cymene (17.4%), b-pinene (6.3%), a-ter...

Peanut haulms compost as a carrier of three Trichoderma species (T. harzianum, T. hamatum and T. koningii) exhibited different morphological and chemical characteristics and its ability to control Fusarium wilt of cumin plants caused by Fusarium oxysporum compared with peat/vermiculite. The peanut haulms carrier was able to increase the population size, numbers, viability, survival, microbial b...
