Insect (S. litura) settling preference on the control (TRV1: TRV2 infiltrated) leaf and infiltrated leaf, four replicates of each experiment with 5 insects in each plate were performed, to calculate two-way t-test for P –value. a there is a significant difference (P < 0.01) in 48 h, b no significant difference in settling preference (P > 0.14) of the 8th day, c there is a significant difference (P < 0.029) in 48 h, d no significant difference in settling preference (P > 0.099) of the 8th day, e there is a significant difference (P < 0.001) in 48 h, f there is a significant difference in settling preference (P < 0.001) on the 8th day
