    abstract = {To study the population dynamics of aphids on wheat in Charsadda, the
present research work was carried out at the research farm of
Agricultural Research Station Charsadda during 2023‐24. Five wheat
varieties i.e. Pirsabaq‐13,Pirsabaq‐15,Zincol‐16,Pakistan‐13 and
Pirsabaq‐21 were tested. The experiment followed randomized complete
block design (RCBD) with three replications. Weekly data were recorded
on the population densities of aphids and yield data was recorded after
harvesting. Results showed that significantly lower aphid population was
recorded on wheat variety Pirsabaq‐21 (0.15 aphids per leaf) while
significantly higher was recorded on variety Pakistan‐13 (1.03 aphids per
leaf). Comparatively higher mean yield was recorded for Pirsabaq‐21
(4257.3 kg per ha) while significantly lower yield was recorded for variety
Pakistan‐13 (2896.7 kg per ha). Hence, wheat variety Pirsabaq‐21 is
recommended for sowing in district Charsadda.}
