Abstract
The main secondary metabolites of Fabiana imbricata showed toxicity to wards the greenbug Rhopalosiphum padi when administered in an artifici al diet. A dose-dependent toxicity was observed for fabiaimbricatan-15 -oic acid and oleanolic acid at doses up to 3.0 mM (p<0.01). Both comp ounds apparently act as antifeedants at higher doses. Rutin also showe d a dose-related toxicity. Scopoletin and p-hydroxyacetophenone were t oxic at 6.0 mM. None of the compounds tested were toxic towards the fi fth instar Heliothis tea larvae.
