Impact of glucosinolate in relation to leafminer, Liriomyza brassicae Riley (Diptera : Agromyzidae) infestation in crucifers
Anzeiger für Schädlingskunde, Pflanzenschutz, Umweltschutz 72 (4), 104-106
Abstract: Eight species belonging to the family Cruciferae were classified to lafminer resistant, tolerant and susceptible on the basis of leafminer infestation. They were analyzed for the glucosinolate content and correlated with leafminer infestation.
Total glucosinolate content in general and sinigrin content in particular appeared to have the ability to repel the attack of Liriomyza brassicae, while gluconapin appeared to attract them. The percentage of infestation, the number of mines and the number of living larvae were estimated for evaluating the glucosinolate efficacy against L. brassicae on cabbage.
