Abstract
When crushed, the leek,Allium porrum emits propyl propanethiosulfinate. The unstable thiosulfinate decomposes during GC analysis in numerous compounds, except on very short columns. The propyl propanethiosulfmate is the most attractive substance for the leek moth,Acrolepiopsis assectella. This thiosulfinate is not active onPlutella xylostella orPlodia interpunctella and seems to be repulsive onEphestia kuehniella.Keywords
