Steam distillate leaf extract of resistant teak clone when sprayed on leaves of susceptible clone and vice-versa respectively, exhibited significant (P<0.01) reduction and enhancement of leaf area consumption and growth rate in last instar larvae of E. machaeralis. The findings indicate the role of leaf volatiles in alteration of feeding potentiality and growth of the insect.
