The behavioral and electrophysiological responses of the obliquebanded leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris), and the redbanded leafroller, Argyrotaenia velutinana (Walker), to crude extracts of Arctium lappa, Bifora radians, Humulus lupulus, Xanthium strumarium, and Verbascum spp. were studied under laboratory conditions. Plant materials were dried and ground before extraction with meth...

The Arctium lappa L. plant, commonly known as burdock, has been used therapeutically for hundreds of years.
