Abstract
When incorporated into an agar-cellulose medium containing feeding stimulants, phytoalexin isoflavonoids from several legumes show feeding deterrent activity against larvae of the insect Costelytra zealandica and Heteronychus arator . The levels at which these compounds deter feeding are of the same order of magnitude as those at which they reduce fungal growth. The most active compound tested was phaseollin. These results suggest that phytoalexin isoflavonoids show a dual acitvity against insects and fungi.
