Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation None of the guayule products caused plant damage.
- Observation Crude guayule resin and hexane and ethyl acetate fractions caused moderate to high contact mortality against T. urticae and B. tabaci.
- Observation The resin and fractions had moderate to high antifeedant activity against three pests.
- Observation No significant activity was observed against F. occidentalis.
- Mechanism Guayulins A and B appeared to cause antifeedant activity against T. urticae and B. tabaci.
- Mechanism Guayulins C and D and argentatin B appeared to cause antifeedant activity against M. persicae.
- Association Feeding reduction in F. occidentalis was associated with compound C2 and argentatin C.
- Recommendation Guayule appears promising as a novel biopesticide.
