Abstract
The Agricultural Research Service collection of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) and related Solanum species from throughout the world was screened for resistance to the carmine spider mite Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval). Tolerance to mite feeding damage was found in S. melongena (P.I. 269663 and 269660), and antibiosis was found in S. mammosum L. (P.I. 245968), S. sisymbrifolium Lam. (P.I. 337597), and S. pseudocapsicum L. (P.I. 368425). P.I. accessions 245968, 368425, 269663, and 269660 were least preferred for feeding and oviposition.Keywords
