Extract

Three biotypes of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harr.), were reported from Southern Quebec by Cartier (1957, 1959). Of these, biotype R1 was adopted as the standard culture in studies of aphid resistance in peas. As the criterion of weight of individuals is frequently used in measuring resistance, the present study was undertaken to secure data on growth, reproduction and longevity of aphids of this biotype.
