Abstract

The effect of phenolic compounds on the preference for winter wheat cultivars as hosts by cereal aphids and the effect of the phenolics, reported in the leaves of cereals, on feeding intensity of Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) larvae was investigated. Preference for the studied winter wheat cultivars was associated with the level of phenolic compounds naturally occurring in the plants. The tested dihydroxyphenols showed highest inhibition of the feeding of R. padi larvae.
