Abstract

A bioassay was designed to test behavioral responses of neonatal codling moth larvae to chloroform and methanol extracts of 25 plant species. Chloroform extractable materials from absinthe wormwood, <i>Artemisia absinthium</i> (L.), rabbitbrush, <i>Chrysothamnus nauseosus</i> (Pallas), and tansy, <i>Zanacetum vulgare</i> (L..) showed promise as possible feeding  deterrents to neonatal codling moth larvae.
