DIMBOA (2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one) is a naturally occurring hydroxamic acid insecticide present in maize. In maize DIMBOA functions as natural defense against European corn borer larvae and many other damaging pests.[1] The exact level of DIMBOA varies between individual plants but higher concentrations are typically found in young seedlings and the concentration decreases as the plant ages.
