Abstract
Fifty‐seven varieties of fodder mustard (Brassica species) were screened for aphid (Lipaphis erysimi Kalt.) resistance during 1981–1985 under natural infestation at Jhansi, India. The variety, IM‐76–103 was found to be highly aphid resistant and high yielding but late maturing. A hybridization programme to remove late maturity is suggested.
