Abstract
Among the varieties/ genotypes of isabgol evaluated for their relative susceptibility to aphid, A. gossypii, three genotypes Anand early- 10, Kutch local and Niharika showed less infestation as compared to the released cultivars. These genotypes may be used as a source of resistance in breeding programme for development of insect resistant varieties.
