Abstract: The bioactive metabolites of some Allium plants, all exhibiting interesting pharmacological activities, were tested for their attractive/repellent activity against saw-toothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.), rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.), and rust-red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), insects infesting the stored-products.
The data obtained showed significant repellent effect of the thiosulfinates against S. oryzae.
