Influence of age correlated host leaf secondary chemicals of Nerium oleander on food utilization of Daphnis nerii (Linn.) is provided. Amount of food consumed as well as the efficiency ofingested (ECI) and digested (ECD) food were decreased onsenescent leaves fed insects than other leaf stages. This suggests that the bio-availability of nutrients are blocked by leaf secondary plant chemicals like phenolics and cyanogenic glycosides, which are present higher in senescent leaves. The results are interpreted and discussed.
