Antifeedant, contact toxicity and oviposition deterrent effects of phyllostine acetate and phyllostine isolated from the endophytic fungus <i>Diaporthe miriciae</i> against <i>Plutella xylostella</i> larvae

Phyllostine acetate and phyllostine show promise as compounds for the control of P. xylostella. This study encourages further investigation of endophytic fungi of the family Cyperacea, for the development of natural pest control agents in agriculture. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
