ABSTRACT
Antixenosis of Brevicoryne brassicae on different genotypes of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) was studied.The Golden acre, C110, B25, 14YXMEK2, DEC1XB21,CF2XLI2-11, and CF1XDT46 showed statistically less number of aphids while CF1XCF2, CF2XE34_A1 and DEC1XRB4PE attracted more number of aphids and the aphid thus showed more preference on these genotypes as compared to the others. The native variety Golden acre from Pakistan although attracted the least number of aphids but the number was not statistically different from the others mentioned earlier. The aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae discriminated among different cabbage genotypes and environmental factors including temperature, humidity and rainfall influenced the number of aphids per plant.
