Abstract

The stability of resistance to Schizaphis graminum (Rond.) (C-biotype) of resistant and susceptible selections of sorghum, rye, barley and oats was tested under 3 temperature regimens. Tolerance appeared to influence foliage loss more than antibiosis or non-preference. Foliage losses and differences between susceptible and resistant selections of cool season grasses (rye, barley and oats) increased as temperature decreased. In sorghum, foliage loss and differences in susceptible and resistant selections increased as temperature increased
