Abstract

Among 73 coriander (Coriandrum sativum ) genotypes, only seven viz., JCO-115, GC-43, GC-46, JCO-18, M-1, UD-190 and JCO-130 were identified as promising ones with relatively low susceptibility to the aphid (Hyadaphis coriandari) and more attractiveness to the associated aphidophagous coccinellids. Remaining test genotypes responded differently to the pest and its predatory coccinellids.
