“…GSL breakdown products are safer biofumigants in pest control as they are considered to be fully biodegradable and less toxic. Insecticidal activity of several ITCs has been demonstrated, especially for aromatic compounds (Ahman, 1986;Borek, Elberson, McCaffrey, & Morra, 1995;Chew, 1988;Lichtenstein, Morgan, & Mueller, 1964;Lichtenstein, Strong, & Morgan, 1962;Seo & Tang, 1982;Wadleigh & Yu, 1988). Borek et al (1995) demonstrated that aromatic ITCs are most toxic to the eggs of the black vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus).…”

“…Glucosinolates contained in cruciferous plant tissues are hydrolysed to a variety of biologically active products that are potentially useful for the control of soil-borne pests (Lichtenstein et al, 1964). In a study of lethal and sublethal effects of isothiocyanates on L. californicus, allyl isothiocyanate was shown to be toxic and repellent to wireworms (Williams et al, 1993).…”

1 This paper reviews and interprets relevant work on the biology and management of wireworms (Agriotes spp.) within the context of potato production in Europe, with particular reference to the U.K. Although the review concentrates on Agriotes spp., the extensive world literature on other Elateridae of economic importance is also drawn upon. 2 Possible reasons for the apparent increase in the importance of wireworms on the potato crop are discussed, followed by a review of wireworm biology, risk assessment techniques (soil sampling, bait trapping and adult pheromone trapping), crop damage, and cultural, biological and chemical control methods. 3 It is clear that the process of site risk assessment followed by appropriate control measures (usually insecticide use) will remain the mainstay of wireworm management programmes. However, there is considerable scope for adopting new risk assessment techniques, such as pheromone trapping of adult beetles. 4 These control measures will need to be underpinned by a greater understanding of wireworm biology, particularly adult dispersal. Factors affecting the initiation and maintenance of wireworm populations in individual ®elds also require further study. The current use of insecticides could also be optimized by a better appreciation of the interactions between insecticide use, potato variety choice and harvest dates.

“…Toxic effects on insects (Lichtenstein et al, 1964), nematodes (Lazzeri et al, 1993;Mojtehedi et al, 1992), fungi (Angus et al, 1994;Chan and Close, 1987;Gamliel and Stapleton, 1993;Papavizas and Lewis, 1971), and plants (Bell and Muller, 1973;Campbell, 1959;Masun-Sedun et al, 1986;Oleszek, 1987;Vera et al, 1987) have been reported in association with Brassica tissues. In addition, isolated compounds of glucosinolate degradation such as ITC, or synthetic analogues, are known to have varying degrees of similar biological activity (Bell and Muller, 1973;Bialy et al, 1990;Drobnica et al, 1967, Williams et al, 1993Wolf et al, 1984).…”

Enzymatic hydrolysis of glucosinolates, a class of compounds found in Brassica species, results in a number of products with potential to inhibit seed germination. To investigate the impact of both volatile and watersoluble allelochemicals, germination bioassays using Lactuca sativa seeds were conducted with root and combined leaf and stem tissues of Brassica napus. Tissues in which glucosinolates were hydrolyzed to remove volatile glucosinolate degradation products were compared with intact tissues and water controls. Only tissues containing glucosinolates produced volatiles that inhibited germination. Volatiles were trapped and identified using GC-MS. Volatiles produced in greater quanitity from intact tissues than from tissues without glucosinolates were almost exclusively glucosinolate hydrolysis products. Water-soluble components also inhibited germination. Chemical analysis of extracts confirmed the presence of glucosinolate hydrolysis products, but indicated the involvement of additional allelochemicals, especially in leaf and stem tissues. Results support the proposal that glucosinolatecontaining plant tissues may contribute to reductions in synthetic pesticide use if weed seeds are targeted.
