Experimental Techniques in Host-Plant Resistance

  • 416 Accesses

Abstract

In this chapter, screening procedures for soybean germplasms against 12 economically important pests are described. The screening procedures are based on more than one criterion-like level of infestation, number of insects per unit plant, weight loss of the plant part damaged, duration of life stages of the target species, and others. Experimental procedures for determining mechanism of resistance against aphids and bruchid beetle are also summarized. For each screening and mechanism of resistance procedure, statistical data analysis is indicated.
