Abstract
Ca}eine was found to inhibit oviposition in shot!hole borer beetle "Xyleborus fornicatus# of tea "Camellia sinensis# in laboratory
culture media[ Ca}eine also delayed the appearance of the di}erent developmental stages in the life cycle\ but apparently did not
have a lethal e}ect on the beetle[ The inhibitory e}ect of ca}eine on the beetle was partially reduced in the presence of the polyphenol
