Development and fecundity of Sitobion avenae on some wheat cultivars under laboratory conditions
Phytoparasitica 30 (4), 434-436
Abstract: Nymphal development time and fecundity of Sitobion avenae (F.) (Homoptera: Aphididae) were determined on nine widespread wheat varieties cultivated in Tekirdag Region in Turkey. Tests were carried out in controlled environment chambers (25 ±1° C, 65 ± 5% r.h.; 16:8, L:D). Development time (± S.E.) ranged from 5.75 ± 0.25 to 7.20 ± 0.20 days. Fecundity per female of S. avenae was found to be the highest (12.87 ± 1.50) on wheat cv. 'Sana'. In this investigation cvs. 'MV-17', 'Miryana', 'Pehlivan' and 'Saraybosna' were particularly resistant against S. avenae.
