Abstract

Thirty‐six genetically diverse sugarbeet ( Beta vulgaris L.) lines were evaluated to determine their potential resistance to the sugarbeet root maggot, Tetanops myopaeformis Roder . Significant and relatively consistent differences in maggot damage were noted over 3 years. Damage ratings of F 1 crosses of resistant ✕ susceptible lines tended to be intermediate between those of the parents. Selection for high‐ and low‐maggot damage showed a linear trend in increasing and decreasing maggot damage, respectively. The average decline in the low‐damage selection was approximately 5% per cycle. After five cycles of selection, there was no change in the rate of decline, indicating that further selection progress can be made. A greenhouse test confirmed field designations of resistant and susceptible genotypes. A low‐damage inbred had lower maggot survival, smaller maggot weight, lower damage ratings, and greater root weight than a susceptible line.
