Study on 3 Species Insect Resistance of Important Landrace Sesame Varieties in Thailand
Main Article Content
Abstract
Study on 3 species Insect Resistance of Important Landrace Sesame Varieties in Thailand to provide basic information for further sesame breeding improvement. The study was conducted during 2022-2023 at Ubon Ratchathani Field Crops Research Center, Sawang Wirawong, Ubon Ratchathani. The experimental design was RCB 3 replications, 11 treatments, namely landrace sesame varieties Mae hong son, Buriram, Mae fah luang (black seeds), Mae fah luang (white seeds), Nan, Nakhon sawan, Chai badan, Roi et 1, Phetchabun, Saraburi and red sesame Ubon Ratchathani 1. All sesame treatments were planted in March 2022 and 2023. Three types of sesame insect pests, sesame leaf folder (Antigastra catalaunalis Duponchel), egg’s hawk moth (Acherontia styx) and green opium bug (Nysius sp.) were counted to determine the resistance of the sesame varieties. The experimental results showed that no landrace varieties were moderately or highly resistant to sesame leaf folder and green opium bug. The Mae hong son variety has moderate resistance (MR) to hawk moth and has a yield 35.5 kg/rai
