Abstract

In a two year study, amongst the varieties tested results revealed that maximum sugar content was recorded in the shoots of susceptible variety CO-2, while, minimum sugar content was in the resistant variety Arka Keshav. In fruits also highest sugar content was recorded in CO-2 while Arka Keshav recorded lowest sugar content in fruits 2nd year. The shoots and fruits infestation with sugar content present showed significantly positive correlation indicating that increase in sugar content in shoots and fruits will increase shoot and fruit infestation of L. orbonalis.
