Influence of injury by Tea Green Leaf hopper, E. onukii on browning of the leaf vein and growth of new shoots of tea plants was investigated. By the infestation of a middle-stage nymph for one day, the color of veins became brown. And after infestation for 4 days, veins had became brown in all shoots. However the number of shoots with the brown veins was lower by one female infestation than by a nymph one. By the infestation of a middle-stage nymph or a female, the brown veins was appeared from at the upper site of shoot to at the lower site. Stippling at the midrib were appeared by infestation of either a middle-stage nymph or a female for one day. And stippling of the leaf had been appeared more at the second and third leaves than the top leaf on the shoot. There was a significant correlation between the ratio of shoots with brown veins and the length of plucked new shoots, but not the weight of plucked new shoots
