Why is it important?

The pea aphid damages crops directly caused chlorosis and necrosis, leading to significant alfalfa loss worldwide. Hence the need for aphid management and use of insecticides.

Perspectives

Treatment with biological products Agricolle, Nagro, and Litovit used alone and in combinations reduced A. pisum density
