Assessment of insect resistance in a spring wheat genetic collection
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Sun, 07/13/2025 - 22:08Spring wheat is one of the most important food crops both in Russia and worldwide, occupying approximately 80 million hectares in developing countries. However, sap-sucking pests are significantly impacting spring wheat yield and quality. This highlights the importance of integrated pest management (IPM), a holistic approach combining preventive and curative measures. Host-plant resistance is a cornerstone strategy within IPM. This study assesses pest resistance levels in a spring wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. ) genetic collection.
