Antifeedant effects of common terpenes from Mediterranean aromatic plants on Leptinotarsa decemlineata

Essential oil terpenes are secondary metabolites produced in different biological pathways as pollinator attraction signals, but also as defense mechanisms against insect pests, herbivores, microorganisms, competing plants, etc. In this context, we have evaluated a total of 24 terpenes commonly foun...
