Overview

Research demonstrates pest management improvement through enhanced phenolic content in brinjal, highlighting whitefly resistance.

Key Points

  • The research aims to evaluate the resistance of brinjal genotypes against major sucking pests.
  • Screened 20 brinjal genotypes for resistance against sucking pests
  • Identified pests include whitefly, aphids, and jassids
  • Measured levels of pest infestation and associated traits
  • Genotypes NDB-23-10 and NDB-23-7 showed the lowest pest infestation levels
  • Resistance correlated with increased phenolic content and dense trichomes
  • Identified lines suitable for hybridization to enhance pest resistance
