The Russian wheat aphid Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov) is a serious pest of wheat in South Africa. The use of D. noxia-resistant cultivars may reduce the impact of this pest on wheat production and at the same time reduce environmental risks and control costs. The mechanisms of resistance in two new sources of resistance were compared by using various methods, in order to establish a rapid and relatively...
A two season study was conducted to compare the onion cultivars TG1015Y and IPA-3 for resistance to thrips in South Texas. Narrow and broad sense heritabilities were estimated from populations developed from the cross, ‘IPA-3’ × ‘TG1015Y’. Parents, F1, F2, and the respective backcross populations were evaluated for thrips numbers at the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, Weslaco, TX. ‘IPA-3’ had...
Wild Brassica species and associated breeding lines were evaluated for their resistance to Delia radicum, the cabbage root fly, in the field in 1993 and in the field, glasshouse and laboratory in 1996. High levels of antibiosis resistance were discovered in the field in 1993 in Brassica fruticulosa, B. incana, B. villosa and B. spinescens and confirmed in the field in 1996 while two B. oleracea accessions...
