Abstract | ||||
Faba bean plants are attacked by leguminous aphid, Aphis craccivora (Koch.) and jassids, Empoasca app. in the field causing severe injury. Therefore, some faba bean varieties (Giza 402, Giza 3, Giza 461 and Giza Blanca) and three breeding lines (714, 716/1024 and 716/1039) were evaluated for their susceptibility to infestation with the two mentioned insects at the farm of Sakha Agric. Res. Station during the growing season of 1991/92 in an attempt to seek for less susceptible varieties to these insects. The obtained results showed that the population of aphids was higher than jassids on all the tested varieties and breeding lines of faba bean. Out of seven faba bean varieties and breeding lines, Giza 3 proved to be the highest susceptible to aphid infestation. Regarding the infestation with jassids, Giza 3 and Giza 402 were the most infested. On the other hand, the lowest variety in susceptibility for aphids and jassids was Blanca. So, it can be recommended for cultivation at Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate as agricultural method in the integrated control programme on faba bean. | ||||
