Cotton Stem Maize Hairy Leaves Resist Insect Pests

Text Hairy leaves resist insect pests, e.g, jassids in cotton and cereal leaf beetle in wheat. 

In wheat, solid stems lead to non-preference by the stem sawfly and smooth leaved and nectar-less cotton varieties do not attract bollworms. 

High aspartic acid, low nitrogen and sugar content in maize leads to resistance to maize stem borers.
