- 摘要:
- Flavonoids are secondary metabolites that deter attacks from some plant-feeding insects. The hypothesis that flavonoids and flavonoid glycosides can be utilized to manage pest insects without negatively affecting beneficial insects was evaluated. Scientific literature databases were examined. Flavonoids were harmful to most true bugs and true flies but harmless to bees. Flavonoid glycosides showed a tendency to harm true bugs and true flies but not harm sawflies. Flavonoids and flavonoid glycosides caused a mixture of harmful and harmless outcomes to plant-feeding beetles. Flavonoid glycosides were harmless to butterflies. In conclusion, these compounds have moderate potential as attractants, stimulants, repellents, deterrents, and less-toxic insecticides against some pests, especially true bugs and true flies, without harming beneficials.
