Abstract

Highly resistant and extremely resistant clones (R2 and R3) of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) exhibited a significantly lower mortality and developed a deleterious dark stomach deposit less frequently on sugarbeet than a susceptible (S) clone. After allowing equal populations of four resistant clones to develop together on sugarbeet for four weeks, approximately half of the aphids recovered were from the moderately resistant (R1) clone, suggesting that this clone had a significantly greater reproductive rate than the others. There was no significant difference in the propensity of any clone to produce alates on sugarbeet, although none of the clones produced very many. It is suggested that, even in the absence of insecticides on sugarbeet, resistant clones may become dominant due to their higher fecundity (R1 clones) and lower mortality (R2 and R3 clones) than susceptible clones.
