Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Eggplant ( Solanum melongena ) suffers severe losses due to a multi-insecticide resistant lepidopteran pest, shoot and fruit borer (SFB, Leucinodes orbonalis ). Heavy and combinatorial application of pesticides for SFB control renders eggplant risky for human consumption. We observed that 1) ovipositing SFB females can find even solitary plants of susceptible varieties and 2) they do not ovipo...
