Preventing fruit infestation by codling moth neonates with Artemisia extracts.

摘要

In preliminary experiments, we show that extracts from Artemisia absinthium, and Artemisia arborescens x absinthium "Powis Castle" have deterrent properties against neonate larvae of codling moth, Cydia pomonella. By partitioning crude extracts and comparative High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography we suggest candidate feeding deterrents for further analysis.
