Plant Constituents as Oviposition Deterrents to Lepidopterous Insects J. A. A. Renwick Boyce Thompson Institute, Tower Road, Ithaca, NY 14853

The natural resistance of plants to herbivorous insects can often be explained by the presence of specific metabolites that act as toxins or as behavior-modifying agents. Oviposition deterrents can offer a first line of defense against insect pests, and extracts of non-host plants have been effective in protecting otherwise susceptible hosts. A search for active plant constituents that cause avoidance of treated plants for egg laying has led to examination of unacceptable plant species which are closely related to preferred species. The cabbage butterfly, Pieris rapae lays eggs on most members of the Cruciferae, but a few species such as Erysimum cheiranthoides are avoided. Potent oviposition deterrents have been isolated from this plant and characterized as cardenolides.

BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE NATURAL PRODUCTS

The big question that now remains is whether these cardenolides could be effective in protecting cabbage plants in the field. The results of preliminary field tests of crude extracts suggest that some degree of control is possible (49). The concentrations of cardenolides required are likely to be in the microgram per plant range, well below mammalian toxicity levels. However, the toxic reputation of cardenolides may make acceptance of these compounds in an agricultural system difficult, and research efforts are now being focused on other crucifer plants. The approach of isolating deterrents from unacceptable plants that are related to hosts appears to be promising, and this work should serve as a model system for future studies.
