dc.description.abstract <p>The fruit of the osage orange tree, <em>Maclura pomifera</em> (Raf.) Schneid (Moraceae), has long been thought to be repellent to insects. A preliminary study reported here confirmed repellency of fruit extracts to the maize weevil, <em>Sitophilus zeamais</em> Motschulsky. Two isoflavones, osajin and pomiferin, were isolated from the mature fruit of <em>M. pomifera</em> in high purity (≥95%). Testing of purified osajin and pomiferin failed to show repellency. Repellency is likely caused by factors other than isoflavones in the fruit.</p>
