Cereal aphids factsheet


Australia
July 12, 2010

Aphid control in cereals can pay

New research indicates there can be financial benefits from controlling the three main species of aphids that threaten cereal crops in the northern region. Oat aphid, corn aphid and rosegrain aphid favour barley, but are found in all cereal crops.

Heavy infestations of these sapsucking insects cause the crop to turn yellow, be stunted and generally appear unthrifty. All three aphids can damage crops by feeding on them and in some instances by spreading barley yellow dwarf virus
