Typical leaf disc choice test used to measure feeding deterrence in chewing insects such as caterpillars and beetles areas consumed are determined from digital photographs of the leaf discs using. Karanjin is a potent deterrent to many different genera of insects and mites in a wide range of crops karanjin has a dramatic antifeedant repellent effect with many insects avoiding treated crops it suppresses the effects of ecdysteroids and thereby acts as an igr and antifeedant. Insect antifeedants compiles this information into a single text presenting the various types of antifeedants their mechanisms species specific bioassay procedures modification of available antifeedants for use as insect control agents commercialization aspects and practical applications.
