Effect of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) on nest development of Atta sexdens rubropilosa Forel (Hym., Formicidae)
Journal of Applied Entomology - Zeitschrift für angewandte Entomologie 119 (3), 341-343
Abstract: The present study showed a strong deleterious effect on leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa nests supplied exclusively with sesame (Sesamum indicum) leaves in the laboratory. Sesame leaves were initially attractive to workers and later became antifeedant. Eucaliptus alba and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis leaves were used as control.
