Zusammenfassung:Essential oils being natural products, biodegradable and ecologically safe are emerging candidates as replacement of synthetic pesticides in pest management programme. In the present study, essential oils were isolated by hydrodistillating dried fruits of Cuminum cyminum (Apiaceae) and Piper nigrum (Piperaceae) and its repellant, fumigant toxicity and effect on acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE) activity was determined against rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae. C. cyminum and P. nigrum essential oils showed significant (p
