ABSTRACT:
An anti-feedant is applied to cotton plants to deter boll weevils from puncturing the cotton bolls. The anti-feedant is the methyl ester of .alpha.-eleostearic acid. The material may be applied by spraying in dilute solution. The ester is obtained in high yield by saponification of tung oil followed by solvent extraction and crystallization of the acid, and subsequent esterification with methyl alcohol.
