Fifty-four genotypes of sesamum were evaluated against leaf webber and capsule borer Antigastra catalaunalis Duponchel. Correlation of the physiological parameters of the genotypes was observed with plant, flower, capsule damage and larval density. It was found that moisture content (%) and chlorophyll content index exhibiting significant positive correlation with damage and larval incidence. Ash content and water saturation deficit showed significant negative correlation.
