| Abstract/Contents: | The purpose of this research was to bioassay a cross-section of the experimental accessions and hybrids along with selected commercial cultivars of bluegrass for resistance to the apple grain aphid. Five mature-size aphids, R. insertum, were put on four of each type of plant. The other four plants of each type were kept on a separate bench about 2 meters away; the second group of plants were not infested. The results of the test indicate the presence of significant levels of resistance to the apple grain aphid in various cultivars and accessions of bluegrass. The average aphid population on the least attractive host ('Georgetown') was less than half that on the most attractive host (Texas x Canadian B). Further research is needed to determine whether antibiosis or nonpreference is the type of resistance that has been encountered here. |
