Host plant resistance (HPR) to insect pests is an underutilized pest management
strategy in vegetable production. Increased pressures to reduce pesticides and
changes in technology now enhance the economic viability and probable role of
HPR in vegetable insect pest management. This is reflected in the relatively recent
release of several insect-resistant varieties and breeding lines. The attention of
HPR to insect pests now receives in extension publications are also increasing.
Opportunities are available to improve research and extension documentation to
assist producers in making better use of the available resistance to insect pests
in vegetable crops. In the short term, existing varieties can be screened more
extensively and quantitative information can be provided to producers. In the
long term, variety of specific recommendations for the use of recommended
insecticides and other management tactics in conjunction with HPR to insect
pests will be beneficial. Awareness of varietal susceptibility to insect pests will
increase the incentives to private breeders to eliminate extremely susceptible
material from their breeding programmes. Support for the research necessary to
exploit HPR to insect pests in vegetables will be required from public sources,
as part of the alternatives to pesticides and from private breeders and producers
who stand to benefit from the development of variety-specific recommendations
and impartial comparison of varieties.
