Abstract :

A greenhouse study was conducted to identify and compare the resistance mechanisms of different red bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes against the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch). The study assessed three main resistance mechanisms: antibiosis, antixenosis, and tolerance, using standard greenhouse assays across 50 red bean genotypes. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with three replications and 50 treatments (genotypes). Results from analysis of variance and Duncan’s multiple range test indicated significant differences (P < 0.05) among the genotypes for all three resistance mechanisms. The highest level of antibiosis was observed in genotypes 31103, 31112, 31128, 31163, 31231, 31247, and 31267. The highest tolerance was found in genotypes 31232, 31157, 31169, and 31105. For antixenosis, genotypes 31109, 31153, 31232, 31233, 31236, and 31240 exhibited the highest responses. The plant resistance index, calculated as the reciprocal product of the three resistance mechanisms, was highest in genotype 31103 and lowest in genotype 31157. In conclusion, genotypes 31103, 31128, and 31112 were identified as potential sources of resistance against T. urticae, with antibiosis and antixenosis playing the most significant roles in their resistance
