Abstract
This chapter analyses greenbug–wheat interactions, as well as greenbug pest management and host resistance. The chapter first introduces integrated pest management practices, then moves on to analyse the importance of host plant resistance. A section on how the environment of a wheat crop can influence the presence of Schizaphis graminum, focusing on aspects such as temperature, ambient CO2 concentration and host nutritional changes due to abiotic stresses. The chapter reviews molecular observations and draws attention to wheat breeding for Schizaphis graminum resistance.
