Discussion

Field trials assess resistance of sesame varieties to insect pests, suggesting benefits for breeding programs.

Sesame germplasm shows resistance to various insect pests, reducing the need for insecticides.
Minimum whitefly population recorded was on line 19002 with an average of 1.63 individuals.
The study employed a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) over two years to analyze pest resistance.
These findings may enable the development of new resistant sesame cultivars, minimizing environmental pesticide residues.

Haider et al. (2025) studied this question.
