Effects of sugar beet cultivar on development and reproductive capacity of Aphis fabae
Bulletin of Insectology 62 (2), 197-201
Abstract: Black been aphid, Aphis fabae Scopoli (Homoptera Aphididae) is recognized as a serious pest of sugar beet with worldwide distribution. Development and fecundity rates of this aphid were evaluated on six commonly growing cultivars under laboratory conditions in Ardabil County, Iran. The results obviously clarified significant differences in biology and life history characteristics of A. fabae reared on different sugar beet cultivars. The shortest developmental time for the immature stages was observed to be 11.32 days on 'Polyrave' and the longest 13.23 days on '7233'. There was the highest fecundity (14.33, nymphs/female) of A. fabae on 'Polyrave' and the lowest (7.32, nymphs/female) on '7233' cultivar. The rm values of the aphid ranged from 0.1336 on '7233' to 0.2202 (nymphs/female/day) on 'Polyrave'. In general, Jackknife estimates of this aphid population parameters on cultivars examined showed the highest development and fecundity rates on 'Polyrave' and the lowest on '7233' cultivar.
