Abstract

Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov) is a main pest of wheat and barley in several regions of the world. This study was conducted on the population dynamics of Russian wheat aphid for screening the resistance of different wheat genotypes at the experimental field of Balochistan Agricultural Research Centre (BARDC), Quetta during two consecutive years (2013-2014 & 2014-2015), comprising of two experiments. In the first experiment, the resistance of 12 wheat genotypes, KRWA-9, PI-1572652-1, PI-6264656-3, PI-626580-4, PI-162HISI-1, CI-2401-A3, KRWA-25, KRWA-28, KRWA-103, CIMMYT-7,  KRWA-8 and KRWA-36 and four released varieties (NARC-11, Zardana, Tijaban-10 and AZRC-1)  for Balochistan. The first experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. In the second experiment, the comparison between the population dynamics of aphids on wheat and barley was made. The Aphid population that appeared on all varieties/lines in the 2nd week of March increased gradually and reached its peak in the 4th week of April on all the varieties/lines. However, an abrupt drop in the aphid population was recorded after the 1st week of May. The mean aphid population/ tiller was lower on KRWA-9 (0.2, 0.3) during the study period, which was recorded as the maximum resistant genotype to Russian wheat aphids under the field environment. In contrast, AZRC-1 & NARC-11 (14.9) & Tijaban-10 (14.5) appeared to be the most susceptible varieties. The second experiment showed that the D. noxia, population was significantly greater on local barley (31.82± 2.43/tiller) as compared to the wheat variety Pirsabak-2013 (21.55±1.64/tiller) during both years.
