Table 4 Comparison of behavior of alates of G. dilatatus for the extract (EtOAc) of rotted and healthy tea stems of susceptible (TRI 2023 and TRI 4042) and tolerant (TRI 2027 and TRI 4049) tea cultivars

Tea cultivars	Percentage responded (mean ± SE)
Tea cultivars	Extract of rotted stems (1 mg)	Extract of healthy stems (1 mg)
Susceptible
TRI 2023	86 ± 1.8^a	14 ± 1.1^c
TRI 4042	53 ± 3.6^b	13 ± 2.1^c
Tolerant
TRI 2027	80 ± 1.7^a	17 ± 1.3^c
TRI 4049	67 ± 1.7^a,b	15 ± 0.5^c

Twenty insects were used in each experiment. Insects in each container were counted 30 min after introducing each extract. Each data point represents the mean of five replicates. The means followed by the similar letters in each column and each raw are not significantly different (p < 0.05) according to the Tukey’s Studentized Test
