AbstractA dark green aphid was isolated from a greenhouse colony of green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), in Fredericton, N.B. The green aphid was shown to conform taxonomically and biologically to the recently named species Myzus nicotianae Blackman, except for its rare production of alatae. It is reported for the first time on greenhouse-grown potato where its population development is similar to that of the yellow holocyclic M. persicae from the same colony. The vector efficiency of the green and yellow aphids for potato virus Y0 is similar. The yellow aphid tends to be more susceptible to insecticides than the green aphid. Myzus nicotianae was not found in aerial aphid samples taken in New Brunswick in 1967 and 1987.

Green peach aphids infective with potato virus Y were made noninfective by exposing the tips of their stylets to ultraviolet radiations in the 2537 Å wave band. Similar results were obtained when the area around the aphid was ventilated during irradiation to carry away the ozone produced by the radiations passing through the air. This irradiation did not appear to harm the aphid even though much of its body was irradiated at the same time. Nor did it affect the infectivity of aphids when their stylets were enclosed by the labium, or when most of the length of the stylets except the tips was exposed to the radiations. Irradiation did, however, reduce the ability of aphids immediately thereafter to acquire potato virus Y during a brief feeding puncture, but this was so whether the tips of the stylets were irradiated or not. Furthermore, an hour after being irradiated, aphids acquired the virus during a brief feeding puncture as readily as did unirradiated controls. It is concluded that irradiation of the tips of the stylets of M. persicae inactivated potato virus Y that otherwise would have been transmitted to the test plants. Only virus near the tips of the stylets appeared to be transmitted even after more than the tips had been inserted into infected tobacco plants.

Green Peach Aphids

AbstractA cardboard trap, painted yellow and coated with STP® oil treatment, was more efficient in trapping Myzus persicae (Sulzer) than water traps using Stickem®. STP-coated traps were more selective than Stickem-coated traps for small insects and caught more aphids per unit area than did water traps. Aphids were identified in situ on STP traps more quickly than from water traps or traps coated with Stickem.

The survival of aphids after different periods of exposure to temperatures of −20° F, 0° F, 10° F, 26° F, and 28° F was examined. None of the nine species, Aulacorthum solani (Kltb.), Myzus ornatus Laing, Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thos.), Myzus persicae (Sulz.), Aphis gossypii Glover, Rhopalosiphum padi L., Macrosiphum avenae (Fab.), Myzus lythri (Schrank), and Brevicoryne brassicae L., held at −20° or 0°, survived exposures of even 4 hours; at 10°, 1% of only M. ornatus, M. euphorbiae, and M. persicae survived after 4 hours. Two species, M. ornatus and M. euphorbiae, were examined at 26°; at this temperature more than 50% of both species survived for more than 350 hours. At 28°, five species from greenhouse and field collections survived to the 50% level for the following periods: M. ornatus, 400 hours; M. persicae, 600 hours; Aphis nasturtii Kltb., 675 hours; M. euphorbiae, 700 hours; and Nearctaphis bakeri Cowan, 1300 hours. Collections of "conditioned" M. persicae from outdoors showed an increase in resistance to cold with survival at the 50% level rising from about 300 hours to about 700 hours between July and September. However, survival after 1000 hours did not differ significantly. It is concluded that at least M. persicae and N. bakeri have the potential cold resistance to survive New Brunswick winters in the viviparous state.

AbstractGauze covers placed over the entrance of one air intake louver (1.52 m × 1.52 m, ht. 11.85 m, air passage 3055.8 cu.m/min) on the penthouse of the Research Station, from May until December, during a 3-year period, trapped more than 150 aphid species. In addition a considerable amount of intercepted aphid material was identified to genus only. A total of 31,482 specimens were trapped over the period.Five species, Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch), Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus), Mindarus abietinus Koch, Alhis craccae Linnaeus, and Capitophorus eleagni (del Guercio), predominated in all years. In 1967 and 1968 more than 100 specimens each of Pterocallis alnifoliae (Fitch), Tinocallis ulmifolii Monell, Myzocallis occultus Richards, Prociphilus americanus (Walker), Capitophorus hippophaes (Walker), Hayhurstia atriplicis (Linnaeus), Thuleaphis rumexicolens (Patch), and Myzus persicae (Sulzer) were trapped each year.Once potential development temperatures were reached there was little correlation between mean temperatures and aphid numbers up until frost.The earliest interception was 6 May; general dispersal was under way by 6 June and continued until late November, despite preceding October frost.
