Extract

Sesamum phyllody is a serious disease of sesame (Sesamum orientale L.). The disease is mainly spread by the leaf–hopper vector Orosius albicinctus Distant (Ghauri, 1966). The biology and bionomics of the hopper was worked out by Bindra & Singh (1970). The relative fecundity–cum–fertility and longevity of the hopper on the diseased and healthy plants were studied to supplement the existing information.
