Stability studies of cynaropicrin–major sesquiterpene lactone of Cynara cardunculus leaves
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.This study investigated its stability under high temperature and pH, mimicking agronomic extremes and under soil context. Bioassays demonstrated that degradation products exhibited higher phytotoxic activity than cynaropicrin and deacylcynaropicrin.
