Insect bioassay. (A) The mass of leaves consumed by herbivores (Spodoptera littoralis) at the indicated time points; (B-C) The mean mass (±SE) of second instar larvae of Spodoptera littoralis reared on sweet potato leaves (n = 10) and the plant growth biomass were recorded after 7 days (B) and from 2–7 days (C) of feeding (D). The results are representative of three replicates. (* represents growth impairment of larvae).
