SUSCEPTIBILITY OF SOME COMMON BEAN VARIETIES TO INFESTATION WITH LEGUMES APHID, APHIS CRACCIVORA (KOCH) AND ITS RELATION TO VIRUS DISEASES
Abstract: Field studies were carried out to evaluate susceptibility of five varieties of Phaseolus vulgaris L, (Bronco, Nerina, Xera, Savana and Alicante) to infestation with legumes aphid, Aphis craccivora as one of the main pests causing a great damage to bean plants and subsequently with virus diseases and its effect on the resultant yields. This work was conducted during summer and nili plantation seasons of 2010 and 2011. The results revealed that, tested common bean varieties showed significant differences between means of their infestation levels by A. craccivora. Alicante variety was the most tolerant to aphid infestation, while Bronco variety was the highest susceptible. Concerning virus diseases (yellow mosaic virus "BYMV" and common mosaic virus "BCMV"), Alicante variety was almost immune, while Bronco and Nerina varieties were highly susceptible to infection. So, Bronco and Alicante varieties gave the highest green yield, while Xera variety gave the lowest weight of green pods. Therefore, it was conclude that, Alicante variety recorded the least infestation, more tolerant to virus infestation and heaviest green pods yield.
