The effect of some watermelon varieties on the biology of Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

Abstract

The development, reproduction, and population growth parameters of melon aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae), were studied on four watermelon varieties (Crimson Sweet, Crimson Tide F1, Galactica and Sürme) under controlled conditions (25±1°C temperature, 65±5% humidity and 16:8 hours long day light conditions) in growth chamber. The effect of watermelon varieties on the biology of A. gossypii was determined as significant. The highest fecundity was recorded on Galactica (58.97 offspring/female), followed by Crimson Tide F1 (57.80 offspring/female), Sürme (57.25 offspring/female) and Crimson Sweet (57.03 offspring/female) respectively. The highest net reproduction rate (Ro) was observed on Crimson Tide F1 (22.40 offspring), while the lowest was on Sürme (18.61 offspring). The value of intrinsic rate of increase (rm) ordered from the highest to the lowest as Crimson Tide F1 0.371, Galactica 0.365, Sürme 0.359 and Crimson Sweet 0.353 respectively.
