ABSTRACT
For ready reference and chemical indexing, this section contains an alphabetical listing of all the biologically active chemical components, their chemical grouping, biological activity like insecticidal, repellent, antifeedant, insect growth, regular/juvenile hormone mimic activity, nematicidal and/or activity of any other kind and also the name of the plant from which the component was isolated. The chemical components, which are dealt in sections A, B, C, are presented in Table 19. However, detailed chemical structures and chemical formulae of the components are mentioned in the text of the respective plant. 356 357 358 359 360 361 362 363 364 365 366 367 Biologically active chemical components
