 ABSTRACT

A study on correlation between biological parameters of S. maculipennis with biophysical (epicuticular wax content) and biochemical (total free amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates and phenols) constituents of castor genotypes revealed that wax content was significantly negatively correlated with per cent parasitisation (-0.445*); total free amino acids were significantly negatively correlated with per cent parasitisation (-0.702**) and egg and larval period (-0.546**); the proteins were significantly positively correlated with per cent parasitisation (0.938**); carbohydrates were significantly positively correlated with per cent parasitisation (0.957**) and significantly negatively correlated with adult longevity (-0.622**) and phenols were significantly negatively correlated with per cent parasitisation (-0.759**) and egg and larval period (-0.486*).

Key words: Snellenius maculipennis, Achaea janata, Genotypes, Correlation, Parasitisation.
