Recently, aromatic plant products (EOs and their major bioactive
compounds) have been extensively studied throughout the world
for fumigant action on target pests. Fumigation is one of the best
methods to prevent the pest contamination during storage with no
lingering or no/less residual effect (Prakash, Mishra, Kedia, &
Dubey, 2014). The EOs of different aromatic plants, commonly
used as culinary herbs and spices, have attracted the attention of
scientists regarding their exploitation as botanical fumigants
against storage losses of food commodities by moulds and mycotoxins
(Burt, 2004; Holley & Patel, 2005). The findings of different
researchers related to efficacy of plant EOs and their various components
against storage moulds and their associated mycotoxin
have been presented in Table 1.
