Abstract
Abstract: Drought and aphids are the key abiotic and biotic stresses on potato, respectively. Understanding the adaptability of aphid populations on potato cultivars that exhibit contrasting drought-tolerance (hereafter as different potato cultivars) under drought conditions is key for developing effective aphid management strategies in the context of climate change. We assessed the adaptability of the peach potato aphid, Myzus persicae, on various potato cultivars under drought conditions using the age-stage, two-sex life table theory. We found that drought reduced M. persicae adaptability in the three cultivars: Qingshu 9 (drought-tolerant), Longshu 3 (moderately drought-tolerant), and Atlantic (drought-susceptible). This was demonstrated by the longer developmental duration and total pre-reproductive period, lower adult longevity, survival rate, and fecundity, shorter reproduction days, as well as the lower net reproductive rate (R 0), intrinsic rate of increase (r), finite rate of increase (λ), and population size under drought conditions. Under drought conditions, M. persicae pre-adult survival rate, proportion of female adults (Nf /N), and R 0 suffered a greater reduction on Qingshu 9. Population projection showed a 100-fold reduction of aphid population size on Qingshu 9 after 90 days. The findings suggest that drought increased the resistance of the drought-tolerant cultivar to the aphid. Based on the present findings, drought-tolerant cultivars are encouraged to plant in arid lands under drought conditions to increase potato resistance to aphids while maintaining their growth under drought conditions.
期刊介绍:
Its scope covers all aspects of basic and applied research dealing with insects and more broadly with arthropods inhabiting wild, agricultural and/or urban habitats. The journal also considers research integrating various disciplines and issues within the broad field of entomology and ecology.
Entomologia Generalis publishes high quality research articles on advances in knowledge on the ecology and biology of arthropods, as well as on their importance for key ecosystems services, e.g. as biological control and pollination. The journal devotes special attention to contributions providing significant advances (i) on the fundamental knowledge and on sustainable control strategies of arthropod pests (including of stored products) and vectors of diseases, (ii) on the biology and ecology of beneficial arthropods, (iii) on the spread and impact of invasive pests, and (iv) on potential side effects of pest management methods.
Entomologia Generalis welcomes review articles on significant developments in the field of entomology. These are usually invited by the editorial board, but proposals may be sent to the Editor-in-Chief for preliminary assessment by the editorial board before formal submission to the journal. The journal also considers comments on papers published in Entomologia Generalis, as well as short notes on topics that are of broader interest.
