Michael D. Bentley, David E. Leonard, George M. Strunz

Abstract

Extracts of non-host plants and selected naturally occurring compounds have been screened for their effects on feeding by spruce budworm larvae, (Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.), using as diet a filter paper substrate impregnated with the synergistic feeding stimulants, sucrose, and L-proline. The most potent feeding deterrents identified to date are alkaloids.
