금잔화, 들깨풀, 수국등 10종의 야생식물잎의 추출물이 담배나방(Heliothis assulta) 유충의 발육과 성충의 산란에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과 유충이 높았으며 대부분 1영과 2영 기간중 먹지않기 때문이다. 여기서 살아남은 유충들도 발육기간 및 탈피횟수는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이중 갈매나무와 때죽나무의 추출물은 성충의 산란도 상당히 억제하였다.
Larval development and adult oviposition of the Oriental tobacco budworm, Heliothis assulta were examined with tobacco leaves sprayed with aqueous or ethanolic extracts from ten selected wild plant species. High larval mortality was observed with extracts from Rhamnus davurice. Persicaria hydroPiPer, Forsythia koreana, Trifolium repens, Styrax japonica, Ginkgo bi/oba, and vilis amurensis. Most of larval mortality occurred during first and second instar, apparently due to antifeeding effects of plant extracts. These extracts also prolonged developmental period of survived larvae and increased the number of larval molts. Oviposition was not affected as much as the larval mortality, but Rhamnus davurice and Styrax jaPonica extracts reduced the number of eggs laid by more than fifty percent.
