Abstract
Several constituents of the cotton plant, Gossypium hirsutum L., including gossypol, caryophyllene, gallic acid, and tannins, were identfied as effective suppressants of gut bacteria found in Anthonomus grandis Boheman. A diet containing the high gossypol faction from cotton-seed as the principal protein source suppressed the growth of gut bacteria and slightly improved egg hatch of this insect.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
