Assessment of genetic divergence in Rapeseeds Brassica napus L. and Brassica campestris L. crops for exploitation of host plant tolerance to Aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer)

The impacts of the aphid infestation on yield of Rapeseeds, Brassica napus L. and Brassica campestris L., genotypes were studied in an experiment carried out in natural conditions. The attack of aphid on crop and its effects on seed weight were determined using a random plants sampling and by analysis of grain yield. On the basis of pest damage, no genotypes were totally free from aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer)...
