Abstract
The adverse effects of feeding continuously on a plant for the insect are measured by antibiosis. The test is conducted under confined conditions. The antibiotic factor manifests on the growth and development of the insect. In this chapter, procedures for the tests have been outlined for the sesame shoot webber and the rice planthopper. The indices associated with tests of antibiosis are provided.
