Abstract Choice and no-choice tests were used to evaluate zanthophylline as a feeding deterrent for range caterpillar, migratory grasshopper, alfalfa weevil, and greenbug. Range caterpillar, migratory grasshopper, and alfalfa weevil exhibited reduced feeding on zanthophylline-treated foliage in choice tests. Only range caterpillar was deterred by zanthophylline in no-choice tests; greenbug host preference was not affected by zanthophylline.
