Hordenine has been found to act as a feeding deterrent to grasshoppers (Melanoplus bivittatus), [35] and to caterpillars of Heliothis virescens and Heliothis subflexa; the estimated concentration of hordenine that reduced feeding duration to 50% of control was 0.4M for H. virescens and 0.08M for H. subflexa. [36]
