Abstract
In Kharif 2022 and Summer 2023, a preliminary screening trial was carried out on thirteen hybrids and varieties of okra to determine their relative sensitivity or resistance against key insect pests, specifically aphids at MPKV, Rahuri. Each hybrid showed a different genotypeââ¬â¢s susceptibility to the major insect problem, aphids. Among them, hybrids Bhindi No. 10 and Radhika had the lowest pooled aphid infestation, with 4.20 and 5.53 aphids/ 3 leaves/plant, respectively. Nonetheless, both hybrids fell into the resistance group. It was found that Syngenta OH-102, Venus plus, ADV-216 and Mahycoexp hybrid 111 were categorized into the moderate resistance group.
