The phenology of Myzus nicotianae Blackman showed that alates appear early in the seedbed, which implies anholocycly. The aphid population developed slowly for at least 4 weeks after transplanting, then increased nearly to the end of the growing season. Spraying, at the onset of rapid aphid increase, was very effective in controlling the aphid population. Aphidiid parasitoids and fungal diseases were the main biological mortality agents with coccinellids, syrphids and chrysopids present in low numbers. Aphid populations were higher on upper than on lower leaves, the reverse being true for mummies. The number of parasitoids was therefore reduced by removal of leaves. Agricultural practices which could contribute to the effectiveness of parasitoids and fungal diseases are discussed. © 1995. |
