Abstract
Examples of Schizaphis graminum (Rond.) reared on 5 plant species (wheat, oats, barley, rye and sorghum) were used in studies in the greenhouse in Oklahoma in 1979 to determine whether preconditioning on the culture-host species influenced the results of subsequent bioassays of different plant species for antibiosis and antixenosis. The results suggested that preconditioning had little effect on such bioassays. Oats showed the highest level of antibiosis and rye that of antixenosis, regardless of which plant had been used for rearing the insects. A few differences were observed, however, when the aphids were used to screen cultivars of proso millet (Panicum miliaceum)
