Abstract

Repellent, aphicidal, destruxin E has interesting properties towards aphids for which some important differences of susceptibility between species have been observed. M. persicae is sensitive to this molecule which kills 50% of the individuals stinging a leaf on which destruxin has been deposited at the rate of 0.4 μg/cm2. Feeding by the cabbage aphid, B. brassicae, is decreased by 8.8 ppm of destruxin E in the sap, whereas R. padi is resistant to inhibition of feeding activity.
