Varietal preferences of Rhopalosiphum padi Linnaeus, 1758 in the Far East South

Abstract

The article discusses the varietal preference of Rhopalosiphum padi Linnaeus, 1758 in the Far East South, and describes the phenology of the pest. It was found that the most optimal for the aphids development and nutrition were Primorskaya 40, Khabarovchanka, Primorskaya 39 wheat varieties, as well as barley varieties Primorskiy 89 and Vostochny. The least suitable were the Primorskiy 98 and Primorets barley varieties. Wheat and barley species-specific effects on the Rhopalosiphum padi Linnaeus, 1758 development and productivity in the Russian Far East South is poorly understood and requires further research.
