The lines used in this study include the varieties Mars and Cypress as susceptible checks and four lines (321264,321278, 1711, 97HB51) as resistant experimental lines. A field host-choice study was performed to determine the impact of resistance on population dynamics of RWW larvae in order to evaluate the potential utility of host plant resistance as a management strategy against the RWW. Significant differences in resistance between varieties (as indicated by larval counts) were found. Lines 321264 and 321278 had the lowest RWW densities. |
