Abstract

Combinations of feeding deterrents are additive in their effects on the feeding behaviour of Locusta migratoria (L.). The effect has been shown within and across different chemical classes. A mixture of fourteen different phenolic compounds from sorghum tested in naturally occurring concentrations was deterrent although the individual levels of deterrence were not measurable. The significance of the findings in relation to plant resistance is discussed
