Insect antifeedant and growth regulating activities of salannobutyrolactone and desacetylsalannobutyrolactone.
Salannobutyrolactone and its deacetylderivative were tested for insect antifeedant and growth regulatory activities against the tobacco cutworm, Spodoptera litura. Salannobutyrolactone was the most effective antifeedant. Desacetylsalannobutyrolactone increased larval duration and larval mortality.
