Abstract

The   number    of    aphids    in    screenhouse    choice   test    condition    was   carried    out    at    the    field   trial   of   the   Department   of Plant   Science,   Faculty   of   Natural    Resources    during    May   to   July  2006.   The    experiments   were   designed   as   RCB   with 5   replications, 10   pots/replication.    The   length    and   density   of   leaf’s   hairs   in   5   varieties   of    yard    long   bean   and    cowpea    (T82E- 16, SR<sub>00</sub>- 863,   Suranaree     1,   Khao - hinson    and   selected – PSU   varieties)   were   studied   under    the    scanning    electron    microscope   (SEM).   The   correlation   between    length    and    density   of   hairs   were  found     with  number    of   aphid.    The   results    showed    that   2   different shapes   of    hairs   were   presented,   a   club-like   and    slender    hair    shaped,    both    occurring    on   the   adaxial.   The   lengths    of    the    both types   of   hair    were    the   shortest   in   selected – PSU   varieties   at   44.01   and   78.57 µm   respectively,    and    average    of    the   hair    densities   were   also   the   smallest   in   this   varieties,   at   39.70   hairs/cm.   IT82E – 16   had   the   longest    hairs   in   both    shapes,   46.81   and   281.86   m,   respectively,    and    average   hair densities   were   also    found,   at   87.10   hairs/cm.   The    rate   of    increasing    in   aphids    number    during   30 – 50   days    was    highlighted in    selected -   PSU   variety,    averaging   239.52   aphids/plant,   where   as IT82E - 16    had    lower     aphid    number,   114.53   aphids/plant.      The   length    and   density    of   adaxial    was   correlated   to   negative   with   number    of   aphids.    IT82E – 16   could    be   used   as   a   source   of   aphid   resistance    for   yard    long   bean   improvement.
