Antifeedant and oviposition-deterring activity of total ginsenosides against Pieris rapae

الملخص EN

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antifeedant and oviposition-deterring activity of total ginsenosides against P.

rapae.

Total ginsenosides exhibited increased antifeedant effects against P.

rapae.

The highest nonselective and selective antifeedant activity were observed at 2.0% concentration where ginsenosides caused antifeedant percentages of 86.09 and 88.90, respectively.

The total ginsenosides showed significantly oviposition-deterring activity of 77.78% against oviposition of P.

rapae at 1.0% concentration.

Total ginsenosides had antifeeding activity against P.

rapae and inhibitory effects on its oviposition.

Ginsenosides could be used as an agent to prepare botanical new pesticidal formulations
