| Abstract: | The insect antifeedant activity of the quinones isolated from Ventilago madaraspatana was investigated by circular leaf disc dual choice bioassay. Amongst the quinones tested, Ventiloquinone A was the most effective antifeedant against Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata and Spodoptera litura. |
