Feeding. The feeding behavior of phytophagous Insects has been studied much more widely than other aspects of the Insect/plant relationship. The reason for this probably lies In the relative ease with which bloassays can be performed and the results Interpreted. Many Insects can be reared on artificial diets, and the effects of added plant constituents can readily be determined. Some early studies by Dethler (29) demonstrated a correlation between larval food choice and the presence of specific chemicals In the umbelliferous host plants of Paplllo polyxenes. However, many of the compounds typically found In the Umbelliferae are also present in other... 

The Insect community feeding on cruciferous crops has been widely studied over a long period of time. The reason for this Interest stems not only from the commercial Importance of these crops, but also from the fact that much Is known about the chemistry of the Insect-plant relationships. Furthermore, at least two of the major chemicals Involved are commercially available.

Bioratlonal methods of control based on altered insect-plant relationships are being effectively used, if we extend this term to describe application of host plant resistance. Such control methods have been developed empirically but the rational basis for further development will be the outcome of new genetic studies.

At present, flame emission still retains advantages in approximately the same area in which it began, determination of alkali metals. Howeveq sodium and potassium are so abundant that they are readily determined by absorption in most sample types. Rubidium has been used as a tracer in studies of insect-plant relationships, taking advantage of its low natural abundance, low toxicity, and great sensitivity by flame emission. The higher red-sensitive photomultipliers such as RCA 4840 should be used beyond 600 nm.
