STUDIES ON RUBUS VIRUS DISEASES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA: VI. VARIETAL SUSCEPTIBILITY TO APHID INFESTATION IN RELATION TO VIRUS ACQUISITION
Keyword(s):
Field populations of the large raspberry aphid, Amphorophora rubi (Kalt.), were observed for 4 years on 13 varieties of raspberry. Lloyd George and St. Walfried were immune, Malling Enterprise and Malling Promise were resistant, and the remainder were susceptible to infestation. Each variety was naturally infected with black raspberry necrosis virus. Vector studies demonstrated that this virus was acquired with difficulty from the immune varieties and also from the susceptible variety St. Regis, but was readily acquired from the remaining 10 varieties.
