Field study assesses resistance in sesame genotypes to leaf webber and capsule borer, indicating significant physical and biochemical correlations.

Seven sesame genotypes were identified as resistant to the leaf webber and capsule borer damage.
Physical parameters like trichome density showed a negative correlation with leaf damage, indicating its importance.
Biochemical factors such as chlorophyll and total sugars positively correlated with reduced damage from Antigastra catalaunalis.
Physical and biochemical factors explained 94% and 99% of the variability in damage respectively, supporting their relevance.

Omprakash et al. (2025) studied this question.
