By means of two non‐preference test methods a number of pre‐selected repellents of Delia radicum has been examined. Dosage increase efficiency of repulsion to larvae and adults has been determined for five and three compounds, respectively. Salicylaldehyde and toluquinone appeared to be promising new repellents. Data from literature about repellents involved are mentioned.
