In this study, reproduction, life table, population, and development parameters of the black bean aphid, Aphis fabae (Scopoli) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), which causes significant losses in broad bean (Vicia faba L.) plants, were determined according to the age-stage, two-sex life table. The experiment was conducted in a climate room with a temperature of 25 +/- 1 degrees C, 60 +/- 5% relative humidity, and 16:8 hours light:dark conditions. All raw data were analyzed by using the age-stage, two-sex life table program. As a result of the analysis, the performance of A. fabae on the two different cultivars; performance on the Salk & imath;m cultivar according to the life table parameters was better than the Filiz-99 cultivar. According to the results obtained, it was concluded that the Filiz-99 cultivar was more resistant than the Salk & imath;m cultivar to the pest. Based on the data received at the end of the study, it can be said that the Filiz-99 cultivar can be planted in places where the pest will form high populations, and the control costs can be reduced.
