Aphids

Aphididae

Aphids are sap-sucking pests that cause leaf deformation, stunted plant growth, and reduced productivity. They also act as vectors for viral infections and facilitate the growth of sooty mold on the honeydew they secrete.

Mentioned in descriptions 6 810 varieties reference book.

Aphids are small sap-sucking pests that deplete plant cell sap during feeding, inhibiting photosynthesis and protein synthesis. Infestation manifests as leaf curling and deformation, the appearance of galls, premature leaf drop, and general suppression of shoots. The pest is diagnosed by colonies on the underside of leaves, the presence of a sticky honeydew coating, and ant activity.

Varietal resistance to aphids is classified as high (HR), which restricts pest development, or intermediate (IR), which can manage infestation under moderate pressure. The effectiveness of varietal protection depends on the type of mechanisms: vertical, which provides specific immunity to certain races, or horizontal, which creates general buffer resistance through the plant's physiological and biochemical properties.

Resistance assessment is a dynamic characteristic, as pests evolve by overcoming race-specific resistance genes. To maintain stability, agronomists apply the rotation of varieties with different resistance genes and combine their use in mixtures, avoiding monoculture with identical characteristics on the same land areas over long periods.
