Abstract
Greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), is one of the injurious aphids of cereals in various regions of the world. This study has measured the life table parameters of the greenbug on six barley genotypes at 25 ± 2 °C, 55 ± 10% RH and 16:8 L:D in greenhouse. According to the results, significant differences were not observed for aphids’ developmental times among the genotypes. Also, the nymphs underwent no mortality on any of the tested genotypes. The longevity of the aphids was obtained from 23.7 to 35.9 days. The least mean number of offsprings was on Raihan cultivar and the highest on line13 (Legia/CWB117-5-9-5). R0 value was significantly higher on line 20 (Mall-4-3094-2//Alpha/Cum/3/Victoria/ICB01-1368-0AP) and line 13 than on the Raihan cultivar. However, the rm and λ values were significantly higher on line 44 (Sls/Bda//Sararood-1) than on Raihan cultivar. T (mean generation time) and DT (doubling time) values of the Raihan cultivar were longer than the other genotypes. Results of this research indicated that among the tested genotypes, the Raihan cultivar is the most unsuitable host for greenbug aphid and lead to the decrease of greenbug population growth.
