The study revealed that varieties Basrai and Paradise were categorized as highly resistant against thrips. The variety Lemon sarbat was found resistant to the thrips. The varieties Eiffel tower, Summer holiday and Devine were categorized as susceptible to the thrips. While, Ice red and Miniature were found highly susceptible to the thrips. The correlation coefficient study between leaf colour and thrips population revealed that there was a positive and significant relationship (r = 0.602) between leaf colour and thrips population. With the increase in intensity of green colour in leaf, the thrips population also increased.
