Material extracted from hyphae ofFusarium avenaceum, isolated from foliage of balsam fir,Abies balsamea, was toxic to spruce budworm larvae when incorporated into insect diet. The major insecticidal component of the toxic fraction was identified by chemical and spectroscopic methods as enniatin complex, rich in enniatin A/A1. Possible ecological implications of these observations are considered.
从白冷杉（Abies balsamea）叶子上分离出的镰孢菌（Fusarium avenaceum）菌丝中提取的物质，当掺入到昆虫饲料中时，对云杉卷叶蛾幼虫有毒。通过化学和光谱方法鉴定出有毒馏分的主要杀虫成分是丰富的恩镰菌素 A/A1 的恩镰菌素复合物。考虑了这些观察结果的可能生态影响。
