The Russian wheat aphid (RWA, D. Noxia) (Kurdjumov) is one of the most harmful pests of wheat and barley, causing considerable losses in the production. This aphid has evolved numerous biotypes, at least three of them exist in Argentina, showing different characteristics to those ones from other latitudes. Although, biotype-specific resistance genes have been identified, within the integrated pest management it is critical to evaluate the novel sources of resistance with local populations of pests.
