Hederagenin as a biopesticide
Hederagenin is one of three primary saponins extracted from the Chenopodium quinoa plant categorized by the EPA as a biopesticide.[1] HeadsUp® Plant Protectant is made up of approximately equal ratios of the saponins Oleanolic acid, Hederagenin, and Phytolaccinic acid and is intended for use as a seed treatment on tuber (e.g. potato seed pieces), legume, and cereal seeds or as a pre-plant root dip for roots of transplants, at planting, to prevent fungal growth, bacterial growth, and viral plant diseases.
