Abstract
In order to study the morphological characters of teak leaves and their influence on teak defoliator and skeletonizer, the study was conducted in the Laboratories of Biotechnology and Agricultural Chemistry of ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat during 2010 and 2011. Result revealed that average leaf length, width and area to the tune of 38.52 cm, 33.79 cm and 459.60 cm2, respectively. Leaf colour (dark green) in teak failed to influence leaf damage inflicted by teak defoliator and skeletonizer, significantly.
Key words: Teak, defoliator, skeletonizer, leaf, width, leaf area and leaf colour##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.details##
