Abstract

Abstract
The cabbage aphid, Brevicorne brassicae L., is an important pest of canola in Iran. In this study, the behavioral responseof B. brassicae was evaluated on leaves of five canola cultivars (Zarfam, Parade, Hyola401, Syn-3 and RG4403) at the laboratory condition. Development of rate and fecundity were the lowest on Zarfam and highest on RG4403 cultivars. The intrinsic rate of natural increase (rm), finite rate of increase (λ) and net reproductive rate (R0) were lowest on Zarfam (0.24±0.005 day-1, 1.27±0.013 day-1 and 15.8±1.09 33 female/ female, respectively) and highest on RG4403 (0.34±0.009 day-1, 1.40±0.006 day-1 and 72.4±3.47 female/female, respectively). There was no significant difference in generation time (T) of B. brassicae among the studied canola cultivars. The lowest and highest values of mean relative growth rate (MRGR) were observed on Zarfam (0.197 mg day-1) and RG4403 (0.243 mg day-1), respectively. Xylem feeding by the cabbage aphid on resistant canola cultivars was indicated by red color of honeydew on seedlings treated with safranin. The highest numbers of red honeydew spots were seen on Zarfam and the lowest on RG4403. In conclusion, RG4403 was the most suitable cultivar, and Zarfam was the less suitable cultivar among tested plants for B. brassicae.
