“…Zetller (1967) reported that counts from sticky traps were «in agreement» with the number of aphids on bean leaves, although he did noi give any statistical relationships between them. Elliot (1971) found a significant relationship between the transformed counts from a suction trap with those on Brussels sprouts plants for M. persicae. Elliot (1980), again, found positive correlations between suction trap catches and counts of alates on plant traps (tomatoes) for M. euphorbiae.…”

Aphid monitoring was conducted by means of yellow Moericke water traps placed in tomato fields in two different localities in Co Boiotia during the growing seasons in 1992 and 1993. Additionally, aphid population densities were estimated by plant sampling. Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas) and Myzus persicae (Sulzer) were the only species which developed populations on plants. Regression analysis between the number of alates from traps with either the number of alates or the total aphid population on plants showed that there was no correlation in the case of M. persicae for both localities and years. However, there were significant relationships between the number of alates in traps and either the number of alates on plants (r2=0.83) or the total aphid population on plants (r2=0.69) for M. euphorbiae in 1992. In 1993, such significant relationships were not found for the latter species, most probably due to extremely low trap catches. Significant relationships were also found between alates in traps, during their immigration period, with either alates on plants (r2=0.93) or the total population on plants (r2=0.80) in M. euphorbiae in 1992.

“…During studies on flight activity of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Elliott 1971;Elliott and Kemp in press), potato aphids were frequently caught with the same suction traps and trap plants so that flight records of both species were obtained over 11 years. These records are summarized to show relative rates of reinfestation of clean plants during the growing season, and to show when the male and female alatae can be expected to appear.…”

Can. Ent. 112: 963-968 (1980) Populations of flying potato aphids (Macrosiphurn euphorbiae (Thomas)), available to initiate new infestations on crops, were measured by plant trapping from 1966 to 1971 and by suction trapping from 1967 to 1978 at Harrow, Ontario. Yearly total catches were extremely variable and in some years there were periods of 2 weeks without catches during the summer. The long term annual flight pattern was a unimodal curve with a peak in August. Counts by plant trapping correlated with those obtained by suction trapping, and catches on Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, and peppers were all positively correlated. Plants exposed on a background of bare soil attracted more alatae than those exposed on a background of mowed weeds. The first female alatae were caught in the suction traps on 21 June 2 5 days each year and the first male alatae on 22 October 2 2 days. The last female alatae were caught on 21 October r 5 days and the last males on 6 November ? 2 days.

“…A reasonable prediction of the arrival of alate aphids was obtaincd by suction trapping and examining colonies on peach trees (Elliott 1971 ). Since the early variety, Irish Cobbler, always emerged first, it was checked twice per week from about 20 May.…”

“…In Essex County, Ontario, the population of green peach aphids on early potatoes is derived from migrants flying from fundatrix colonies on peach and related trees, starting at the end of May (Elliott 1968(Elliott , 1971. In commercial fields, infestations are reduced by insecticides applied to control flea beetles, Epitrix cucumeris (Harris), Colorado potato beetles, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), and potato leafhoppers, Empoasca fabae (Harris), at least one of which usually occurs in damaging numbers.…”

A METHOD OF PREDICTING SHORT TERM POPULATION TRENDS OF THE GREEN PEACH APHID, MYZUS PERSICAE (HOMOPTERA: APHIDIDAE), ON POTATOES

A method which uses the number of large embryos per adult to predict increases or decreases of green peach aphids, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), on potatoes over 3–4 or 7–8 days is presented. The population change between two successive counts 1 and 2, expressed as an increase factor (count 2 divided by count 1), is related to the average number of embryos per adult, at the time of count 1, by a linear regression (significant, P < 0.001). If there are more than about three embryos per adult, the population increases. Parasitism by Aphidius nigripes Ashm. reduces the number of embryos per adult in the field. In the laboratory, with no parasitism, the number of embryos per adult declines with age and is directly related to the daily birth rate which also declines with age.
