Evaluation of Soybean Germplasm for Resistance to the Leaf Miner, Aproaerema modicella (Deventer) (Lepidoptera : Gelechiidae)

There being a significant positive relationship between these two criteria (per cent leaflets damaged and damage grade index), either of them could be used for assessing the reaction of entries.
