Abstract
Antibiosis of eight soybean cultivars to three clones of soybean aphids (Aphis glycines Matsumura) was evaluated using both soybean sprouts and leaflets. Overall, the performance of soybean aphid was better on sprouts than on leaflets. We confirmed previous reports that Dowling and Jackson cultivars exhibited strong resistance to a clone of soybean aphids from the US, but not to either Japanese or Indonesian clones. The USA clone had delayed development, fewer offspring, and low emergence rates on these two cultivars. However, abnormal offspring were only investigated on the Tachinagaha cultivar. We confirmed that Bay and Himeshirazu cultivars were strongly resistant to the Japanese aphid clone; aphids produced fewer offspring and deformed offspring on Bay and had delayed development and a low rate of emergence on Himeshirazu. None of the eight soybean cultivars were resistant to the Indonesian clone, although abnormal offspring were produced on Jackson, Adams, and Tachinagaha cultivars. These data suggest that there are genetic differences among the three tested clones of soybean aphid and that the characteristics of local soybean aphid clones must be considered when developing resistant soybean cultivars for a given geographic area.
