Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to see the performance of 3 canola (Brassica napus) varieties against aphids attack and to determine the most effective and economical insecticide against this pest on canola (Brassica napus). The results show that all of the tested canola varieties (Dankeld, Altex and Wester) was found non-resistant to the attack of aphids however, Dankeld variety showed least susceptability to the attack of this pest compared to other tested varieties. The effectiveness of four different tested insecticides against aphids on canola show that Tamaron 600SL gave significantly highest reduction in the aphid population followed by Folidole 50EC, Ripcard 5EC and Novacron 50WSC and in increase of yield of canola seeds respectively.
