An updated checklist of aphids (Homoptera: Aphididae) infesting brassica plants (Angiospermae: Brassicales: Brassicaceae) in India
Keywords:
brassicaceae, aphididae, aphids, pests, cabbage, cauliflower, mustard, radishAbstract
The present aphid-host plant checklist demonstrates that at least 27 species of plants of the family Brassicaceae are infested by 31 species of aphids belonging to a single subfamily Aphidinae (Homoptera: Aphididae) in India. The maximum number of aphid species are found to colonise on Brassica oleracea L. and Raphanus sativus L. (15 species each), followed by Brassica napus L. (9 species). Similarly, the maximum number of plant species (19 plant species) were infested by Myzus (Nectarosiphon) persicae (Sulzer), followed by Lipaphis (Lipaphis) erysimi (Kalt.) (18 plant species) and Brevicoryne brassicae L. (15 plant species).
