“…Studies with regard to resistances within B. vulgaris against insects were reported for sugar beet root aphid (Pemphigus populivenae Fitch .) (Harper, 1964;Wallis & Gaskill, 1963 ;Russell, 1966 ;Wallis & Turner, 1968 ;Lange, 1971), the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae Sulzer) (McFarlane, 1971 ;Lowe, 1974Lowe, , 1975Lowe & Russell, 1974 ;Russell, 1965) and bean aphid (Aphis fabae Scopoli) (Lowe, 1974 ;Lowe & Russell, 1974 ;McFarlane 1954McFarlane , 1971 . A monogerm variety with resistance to Myzus persicae was described by Russell (1972) .…”

Thirty-six genetically diverse sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) lines were evaluated to determine their potential resistance to the sugarbeet root maggot, Tetanops myopaeformis Roder. Significant and relatively consistent differences in maggot damage were noted over 3 years. Damage ratings of F, crosses of resistant x susceptible lines tended to be intermediate between those of the parents. Selection for high-and low-maggot damage showed a linear trend in increasing and decreasing maggot damage, respectively. The average decline in the low-damage selection was approximately 5% per cycle. After five cycles of selection, there was no change in the rate of decline, indicating that further selection progress can be made. A greenhouse test confirmed field designations of resistant and susceptible genotypes. A low-damage inbred had lower maggot survival, smaller maggot weight, lower damage ratings, and greater root weight than a susceptible line. (9). Approximately 38% of the U.S. sugarbeet acreage is subject to damage. We estimate the current average annual loss from SBRM to be about 2% of the yield, or 481,000 metric tons.The prime method of controlling this insect has been with chemical pesticides (3). However, these can be expensive, and there is the possibility that the insect could develop resistance to insecticides. Plant resistance to insects has been developed by breeding in many crops and is one of the most efficient and economical methods of control when available.In the United States, several reports indicate that differences exist among sugarbeet genotypes for damage caused by the sugarbeet root aphid, Pemphigus populivenae Fitch (1,4,5,15,16), the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (5, 13), the bean aphid, Aphis fabae Scopoli (12, 13), and spider mites Tetranychus spp (13). However, none of these have played an important role in sugarbeet breeding program in the United States. In England, considerable research on plant resistance in sugarbeets has been reported for the green peach aphid (6,7,8,14) and to some extent for the bean aphid (6,8). It is apparent that the potential exists for developing resistance to sugarbeet insect and mite pests.Maxwell and Jennings (11) recently reviewed principles and techniques of insect control and pointed out that incorporation of plant resistance to insects should be an integral part of a breeding program for any crop. Success in identifying sources of resistance is directly related to the diversity of germplasm available and the probability of resistance occurring in these populations. Finding a source of resistance is the first step for further biochemical and genetic studies. Our study was undertaken to determine if resistance of sugarbeets to the SBRM could be found and to determine the degree of resistance and the feasibility of selection for resistance to SBRM in a sugarbeet breeding program. METHODS AND MATERIALSField and laboratory evaluations of sugarbeets and selections for resistance to the sugarbeet root maggot were carried out by personnel of ...
