Abstract
A method for repelling insects from plants with non-cyclic esters is disclosed. The esters are prepared from a non-cyclic polyhydroxyl compound having from about 3 to about 5 carbon atoms and at least three hydroxyl groups and a carboxylic acid. In the esters at least two of the hydroxyl groups are esterified and the total number of carbon atoms in all of the ester groups is from about 9 to about 19.
