Özet

The black bean aphid, Aphis fabaeScopoli(Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a significant pest of common beans worldwide, causing damage both through direct feeding and by transmitting viruses. The selection of resistant varieties is the primary strategy in integrated pest management for controlling Aphis fabaeScopoli. The study of the development, reproduction, and population parameters of the black bean aphid was conducted on two different bean cultivars, Gina and Romano, under controlled conditions. Life table parameters were estimated using the age-stage, two-sex life table method. Population parameters were found to be lower in the Romano variety compared to Gina.The results indicated that bean cultivars significantly impacted the biology of A. fabae, with Gina being the most favorable cultivar for its life cycle. These findings could be applied to the development of a pest management program targeting this aphid
