Abstract
L-Dopa inhibited survival, growth, pupation, and pupal weight of the black cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel). It inhibited growth by reducing assimilation of food and by reducing the efficiency of conversion of assimilated food into insect tissue, but had no effect on amounts ingested. Catechol did not inhibit survival or ingestion, but inhibited growth and pupation. It inhibited growth by reducing the efficiency of conversion of assimilated food. Chlorogenic acid and dopamine had no apparent effect on survival, growth, pupation, or pupal weight.
