Repellents against earthworms, hydroxamic acids and isothiocyanate, from UV-B damaged maize and radish
Hydroxamic acids (4-hyclroxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-ones) and 4-methylthio-3-butenyl isothiocyanate as repellents against earthworms, have been isolated from UV-B damaged maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings and roots of Japanese radish (Raphanus sativus L.).
