AHDB Aphid News
The first edition of AHDB Aphid News has just been released.
The temperature in January and February was close to average at all suction-trap sites, the greatest difference from average being at Starcross, where it was 1oC above. Thus the timing and early-season abundance of winged aphids are expected to be around average. The shallot aphid (Myzus ascalonicus) is the most numerous aphid species in the suction-trap samples to date. No other crop aphids of significance to vegetables or salads have been caught so far this year.
