Fuente: WIPO "tomato" Disclosed are synthetic peptides developed from the western flower thrip (Frankliniella occidentalis), spotted-wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii), diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella), lygus (Lygus Hesperus), and other insect neuropeptides. Peptides disclosed can be used to repel, control, or deter Frankliniella spp., Drosophila spp., Plutella ssp., and Lygus ssp., including Frankliniella occidentalis, Drosophila suzukii, Plutellaxylostella, and Lygus Hesperus from feeding on agricultural and horticultural plants. The peptides can be combined with bait materials, or applied directly to plants or areas.
