Extracts prepared from elderberry,Sambucus simpsonii Rehd., leaves with either acetone, dichloromethane, distilled water, ethanol, hexane, or methanol deterred oviposition byHeliothis virescens (F.) on treated substrates in the laboratory. Doses of the aqueous extract equivalent to as little as 0.8 mg of leaves/cm2 of oviposition substrate were effective in reducing egg deposition. There was no significant difference in the mean number of landings on extract-treated and untreated surfaces. When either the antennae, proboscis, or the metathoracic legs were removed from female moths, there was no significant effect on oviposition on paper towels treated with elderberry leaf-water extract in laboratory bioassays, but in field cages, moths without these appendages deposited significantly fewer eggs on treated leaves of tobacco plants, a preferred host. There was no evidence that elderberry leaf-water extract affected mating byH. virescens.
从接骨木（Sambucus simpsonii Rehd.）叶中提取的丙酮、二氯甲烷、蒸馏水、乙醇、正己烷或甲醇提取物，可在实验室中抑制处理过的基质上的斜纹夜蛾（Heliothis virescens（F.））产卵。水提取物的剂量低至每平方厘米产卵基质 0.8 毫克，就可有效减少产卵。在提取物处理过的和未处理过的表面上，降落的平均数量没有显著差异。当从雌性飞蛾身上移除触角、喙或后胸腿时，在实验室生物测定中，用水提取接骨木叶处理的纸巾上的产卵没有受到显著影响，但在野外笼子中，没有这些附肢的飞蛾在处理过的烟草植物叶片上产卵明显减少，烟草植物是一种偏好的宿主。没有证据表明接骨木叶水提取物影响斜纹夜蛾的交配。
