We examined the behavior of Formosan subterranean termites toward one of the components of vetiver grass oil, the roots of which manufacture insect repellents. We found nootkatone, a sesquiterpene ketone, isolated from vetiver oil is a strong repellent and toxicant to Formosan subterranean termites. The lowest effective concentration tested was 10 micrograms/g substrate. This is the first report of nootkatone being a repellent to insects.
我们研究了台湾乳白蚁对香根草油其中一种成分的行为反应，香根草的根部可制造驱虫剂。我们发现，从香根草油中分离出的倍半萜烯酮——圆柚酮，是一种对台湾乳白蚁有强烈驱避作用和毒性的物质。测试的最低有效浓度为10微克/克底物。这是关于圆柚酮对昆虫具有驱避作用的首次报道。
