Abstract

Flights of green peach aphid alatae were recorded in suction traps and on trap plants from 16 May to 4 December. Four peaks of flight occurred in each of the years 1967–70, in early June, early July, late August and late September, the third being the largest. The aphid flew in very large numbers during August. There was a very significant correlation between the weekly catches from a suction trap and a group of Brussels sprouts trap plants at the same location and between two suction traps 3.2 km apart. By both methods the average weekly catch for 1967 > 1970 > 1969 > 1968.
