Gluconasturtiin potassium 

Gluconasturtiin potassium is an orally active glucosinolate found in the roots of Brassica juncea and Brassica hirta. Gluconasturtiin potassium acts as a feeding activator for P. maculipennis larvae at low concentrations, while it exhibits toxicity to the larvae at high concentrations^[1].

Gluconasturtiin (4-20 mg per 10 mL of 0.1 M glucose; added to the feed) potassium stimulates feeding in P. maculipennis larvae at low concentrations, but exhibits significant toxicity against fifth-instar larvae at 20 mg/10 mL (> 50% mortality)^[1].
