A field experiment of thirty five linseed germplasm was conducted at research cum instructional farm, IGKV, Raipur (C.G.) during two consecutive rabi season of 2016-17 and 2017-18. Trichome length was measured through trinocular microscope at flowering stage of linseed germplasm. The basis of microscopic observation it was seen that trichome was generally absent in case of susceptible germplasms whereas in case of resistant and moderately resistant germplasm, trichome length exhibited between 73.86 to 137.86µ and observed a highly significant and negative correlation with r value 0.654 to bud fly infestation. Bud trichome is effective physical barrier to insect herbivores by affecting mostly small bodied insects than larger insect. Trichomes may offer a potential insect resistance mechanism for glabrous crops and/or genotypes.
