AbstractPea aphids, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), were sampled from 1980 to 1983 in field peas, Pisum sativum (L.), in Manitoba. Sweep and foliage samples were taken in commercial fields and plots. Aphids were found in late May or early June soon after the crop emerged, but populations were low throughout June. Populations increased in July, when the crop was flowering and producing pods, and peaked in the latter half of July or early August in 3 of the 4 years, when pods were maturing. Populations decreased rapidly after the peak, as the plants senesced. In 1980, a drought year, aphid densities were low and the populations peaked in the middle of August. From 1981 to 1983, densities exceeded the economic threshold in all commercial fields and all but one of the plots that were sampled.

AbstractA comparison of the effects of infestation by known numbers of pea aphids, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), on six field pea cultivars was made in field cage tests. The largest population of aphids developed on the cultivar Trapper and the smallest on the cultivar Century, with differences in aphid numbers between these cultivars significant for mature plants. Infested plants of Trapper had a significantly lower number of pods per plant, and infested plants of all cultivars had decreased seed weights, both per metre row and of 250 seeds, when compared with control plants. In all cultivars except Trapper, the most severely affected yield component was weight of 250 seeds.
