Resistance of cruciferous crops to turnip root fly

Resistance of cruciferous crops to turnip root fly

Cruciferous crops have been investigated for resistance to turnip root fly (Delia floralis Fallén) in northern Sweden. Resistance variation has been demonstrated in field trials by observations of wilting symptoms, differences in green mass yield, root damages, surviving plants and number of eggs. L...
