Abstract
Plant resistance to insects of the genus Lygus Hahn has been reported in bean (4), alfalfa (1) and cotton (2). The level of resistance of carrot (Daucus carota L.) to lygus bugs (L. hesperus Knight, L. elisus van Duzee) varies within and among cultivars (3). I carried out the present study to ascertain if the resistance level could be increased by inbreeding and selection.
