Abstract
The influence of saponins isolated from alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) leaves and glucosinolates isolated from mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seeds on the fertility of Colorado potato beetles (Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say) reared on potato leaves treated with these substances was tested. It was observed that both compounds restrained the process of egg laying however, the action of saponins was stronger.
