Abstract
A 2-year study on the preference and performance of Lipaphis erysimi on different Brassica species in the field and under greenhouse conditions revealed that rapeseed (B. campestris var. BSH-1, B. campestris var. YSPB-9) and mustard (B. juncea RH-30) were better hosts for this aphid than other Brassica species (B. napus, B. nigra, Eruca sativa, B. carinata). On the first group of plants, the rate of nymphal development, longevity and fecundity of this pest were significantly less than on the second group of plants. Development was significantly prolonged when the aphid was reared on second group of plants.
