Abstract
Investigating the population dynamic of important cotton pests on new cotton varieties is important. Cotton cultivars have important pests such as thrips, aphids, whitefly and bollworm. Considering the premature cultivars with proper yield for second cultivation in cotton-growing Golestan province at the north of Iran, this study seems necessary. This genotypes was cultivated with 9 treatments in 4 replicates. A completely randomized block design was carried out in Hashem Abad research station in a spray-free plot with the dimensions of 30 × 80 cm in 2018-2019 years. According to the results of this study, analysis of variance of two years showed that the yield of N2G80 with 1538 g in the plot with 41.7% lint percentage had the highest yield, and M13 with 685 g in the plot and 35.8% lint percentage in the lowest yield they had. The infestation rate of the genotypes tested in the population of green aphid of cotton in K880-2 and Golestan® cultivars was 48.88 and 40.31 in aphid with the highest density, and the SKT-133 and TBL-60 genotype respectively with 27.15 and 29.11 aphids per leaf had the least infestation. The amount of infestation of the genotypes tested to the population of whitefly cotton on the N2G80 and TBL-60 genotype was 90.76 and 68.86 whitefly in the leaf with the highest infestation and N2G80 and TBL-60 genotype respectively with 40.05 and 75.51 white fly in leaf were the least infested. Correlation coefficient between traits was equal to 0.55. The number of bolls per plant was not correlated with other traits including boll weight, lint percentage, aphid and white fly.
Highlights
More than 200,000 hectares of land annually are allocated to cotton cultivation in Iran
Changes in the population of major cotton pests in Golestan province were shown on new cultivars in cotton regions of the country relative to normal cropping in the region that cultivars tolerant to the most important pests of sepid cotton had the lowest infection with bell worm and sucker pests in the Golestan province region [1, 2]
The results showed that B-557 and 43259 cultivars compared to the average population of important sucking pests such as Aphis gossypii (Glov.) and green hopper Asymmtraca decdens (Dlabo.) and Thrips tabaci (L.) and cotton white fly Bemisia tabaci (G.) compared to the Sahel and other cultivars were lowest infestation [6]
Summary
More than 200,000 hectares of land annually are allocated to cotton cultivation in Iran. Cotton cultivars have important pests such as thrips, aphids, whitefly and bollworm. Changes in the population of major cotton pests in Golestan province were shown on new cultivars in cotton regions of the country relative to normal cropping in the region that cultivars tolerant to the most important pests of sepid cotton had the lowest infection with bell worm and sucker pests (aphids and white fly) in the Golestan province region [1, 2]. A study was conducted on the cultivars tolerant to cotton aphid in Hashemabad station. S. J × ciland-2 variety has the lowest infection with cotton aphid and other cultivars, such as Zeta -2, 010, Bakhtegan and Bulghar 433, had moderate infestation) [4]. Pest activity of cotton in the region with two important peaks in early June in early June and early July in Gorgan and Gonbad) [5]
