Abstract


The biology of Hishimonus phycitis on the infected and healthy brinjal plants revealed significantly reduced egg and nymphal period in the leafhoppers cultured on diseased plants. The adult longevity and fecundity of the vector were favoured and the leafhoppers completed their life cycle in a shorter period in the diseased plant with reduced nymphal mortality. The sex ratio of the adults cultured on diseased plants was in favour of females.
