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