Notes: In the current investigation, 30 genotypes were examined for their resistance against mealybugs in their natural field environment for three consecutive years from 2019 to 2021 in the geographical region of Anand, Gujarat, India. Our study results revealed that 10% of the genotypes i.e. DGS-18, DGS-26, and DGS-28, were highly resistant. The novel resistant genotypes identified in the present study will be helpful for the management of P. solenopsis and P. marginatus, in G. sylvestre.
