ASSESSMENT OF SEVERAL MUSTARD VARIETIES RESISTANCE TO MUSTARD APHID, LIPAPHIS ERYSIMI (KALT.) (Pages : 34 - 38)

Four varieties namely, MM014-02wf, MM012-02ys, MM2-16-98, MM01l-02rb and Binasarisha-4 one check variety of mustard were tested against the mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kalt.) under natural and artificial conditions. The result showed that the resistant or less susceptible variety had lower aphid infestation. Generally, aphid infestation showed trend from flowering stage, reached the peck at pod formation stage, and then trended to decline in all the mutants/variety. The highest yield was observed in the variety MM014-02wf, which had lowest aphid infestation. Considering the results of all parameters responsible for aphid resistance or susceptibility at the field and net house studies, the tested variety. Download
