| dc.description.abstract | In studies on the host plant resistance in Mamordica charantia L. to infestation by the fruit fly Dacus cucurbitae Coq. (Tephritidae: Diptera) a field trial for screening sixty six accessions of bittergourd was laid out in the summer season of 1984-85 in the Horticulture College Farm, Vellanikkara. The mean percentage of fruit infestation in the accessions ranged from 10.866 to 74.266. Based on the levels of fruit infestation , the accessions were classified as highly susceptible (more than 30 percent ) moderately susceptible (between 20 to 30 per cent) and moderately resistant (between 10 and 20 per cent) | en_US |
