The study of the resistance of 15 black currant cultivars to gooseberry aphids in the field on the natural background of the population development (2015-2017) has shown that the cultivars differ significantly in their level of resistance. Mila, Sophia and Zhuravushka, which were not inhabited with aphids for three seasons, proved to be highly resistant to A. glossulariae, Garmoniia and Bariton-resistant, Kanakhama, Natasha and Altaiskaia pozdniaia-medium resistant, Rita, Agata and Gerkules-low-resistant and Zabava, Prestizh, Iadrenia and Pamiati Kukharskogo-non-resistant. The efficiency of the combined action of water extracts of A. absinthium and T. vulgare was high and 2 weeks after the treatment by botanical preparations it was from 87.2 to 100%.}, journal = {OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
