Plant resistance to the safflower aphid, Uroleucon carthami (Theobald) (Homoptera: Aphididae) in safflower genotypes
Abstract :The
safflower aphid, Uroleucon carthami (Theobald) (Homoptera: Aphididae),
is an important pest afflicting safflower in most safflower growing countries
in the world. Plant infestation with aphids can reduce plant growth and thus
reduce fecundity and crop production. Deliniating the categories of resistance
in safflower genotypes under field conditions could be helpful in management of
this pest. Antixenosis is defined as a resistance mechanism affecting pest
establishment on their host plants….
