Mycological investigations of 25 samples of stored chickpea food seeds ( Cicer arietinum  L.) from grocery stores of Gurgaon and Gorakhpur revealed occurrence of seventeen fungal species belonging to genus viz.,  Alternaria, Aspergillus, Chaetomium, Colletotrichum, Curvularia, Fusarium, Penicillium, Rhizopus, Rhizoctonia,  and  Sclerotium . In these  Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Fusarium oxysporum  had dominance in terms of per cent occurrence. Only one species of Bruchid ( Callosobruchus chinensis  L.)  occurred  in all the 25 samples. The biodeterioration of seeds inoculated with fungi:  A. flavus, A. niger, F. oxysporum  and the insect— C. chinensis , revealed their role in seed deterioration.  For chickpea food seed protection essential oils  were  extracted from edible commodity(clove(Lavang and dill(sowa) leaf). Clove(Lavang) oil registered highest antifungal activity inhibiting (100%) mycelial growth of fungi, viz. species  Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Fusarium oxysporum  at 300 ppm but was fungicidal at 400 ppm. Dill (Sowa) oil showed complete inhibition at 400 ppm and was fungicidal at 500 ppm. While mixture of both the oils (clove and dill) showed complete inhibition (100%) and fungicidal action at 400 ppm against the dominant fungi. The oils showed 100% insect repellent activity and were found fungicidal at 0.02 ml dose and also insecticidal. The mixture of oils was cidal at 0.02 ml dose. The mixture of oils showed a broad antifungal spectrum at 500 ppm while only 70–93% inhibitory activity at 300 ppm. The oils' mixture's activity was not affected by temp, storage and autoclaving up to 150 days. Oils physico-chemical properties were studied. GC–MS analysis of clove(Lavang) oil depicted major components: 75.63%eugenol while dill(sowa) leaf oil had 25.14% apiole. Formulation of Mixture of oils was more effective showing complete seed protection i.e.no growth of fungi and insects upto 150 days storage than salphos (150 days). While salphos controlled only maximum three fungi ( A. terreus, C. dematium, F. moniliforme ). The formulated oils mixture did not have any adverse effect on the chickpea seeds and increased  their  shelf life.

Application of clove and dill oils as an alternative of salphos for chickpea food seed storage
